Kapow Software enables reliable and cost effective migration into Microsoft Sharepoint
Kapow offers the only product-based solution for migrating content from any system to Microsoft SharePoint. By viewing the actual content as it appears in your browser, you select exactly what you want to migrate. And when you create your extraction and transformation instructions, you verify the accuracy of the actual output, in real time. Kapow automatically tests these rules against your actual content and alerts you when you need to make an adjustment to the instructions. This "verify as you build" method is the key to eliminating the costly migration errors inherent in traditional black box solutions, "cut and paste," manual coding and generic API approaches.
Featured Customer Success Stories in Content Migration with Microsoft Sharepoint:
Challenge
- Barclays needed to consolidate intranet platforms to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
- They were replacing Vignette and Lotus Notes with Microsoft SharePoint. The SharePoint interface contained JavaScript commands that were required to create new documents in document libraries and to perform complex manipulation of SharePoint form fields.
- Manual migration of content was too costly and time consuming to consider.
Solution
- Kapow automated the migration of 8,000 pages of content from Lotus Notes/Domino databases into SharePoint.
- The storage mechanism within SharePoint was a series of web part pages stored in document libraries, with each library representing a department in the source system. These web part pages would hold content editor web parts, which contained the migrated HTML content. Migrated content was easily editable through the front-end SharePoint GUI.
Results
- 100% clean migration of content.
- Migration was completed in just 4 weeks.
