- Content Migration
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.
