The Asterisk on the Project Plan

In every Enterprise Content Consolidation project there comes a point where someone realizes that they are in charge of making sure a mountain of content gets loaded into the new improved content repository. All the designers have worked out their designs, the architects have architected and the integrators are busy integrating. And now it's time to move the data. This may have been well thought out and planned for, or conversely it may have been a minor "asterisk" on the project plan. But at some point, in a conference room, someone at the table is tasked with making sure the data actually gets moved. "Go get 'em, Bob!"

It's no mean feat, and the perceived success or failure of the project may depend on the quality, accuracy and completeness of the content migration step. Legacy content needs to be inventoried, categorized, and attributed with metadata to support the new functionality. The content needs to be repurposed, mapped to the new target taxonomy and all the links must be converted and QA'ed.

Content Dynamics!

We're not just a tool - but we bring to bear powerful technology customized to your project.

We're not just a data entry firm - we take great pains to keep an eye on your taxonomy changes, link tracking, document conversions, and metadata keyword modeling. Our Content Editors don't just migrate the content but will ensure the content is correct and makes sense. We constantly review the migration and suggest changes when we see potential opportunities to improve your content and project.

We're not just a methodology - we employ our proven and battle tested process on your behalf, in order to reduce your risk, work load, and preserve the project timeline.

Content Dynamics is all these things - an intelligent, powerful combination that adjusts to your project as it evolves. We're convinced there isn't a more scalable and nimble solution to data migration.
The Solution

Often Project Team leaders ask around and end up with an off the shelf tool which promises an 80% solution but typically delivers much less in the end. Or internal Content Owners (CO) are asked to steward their own content into the new system. Of course these CO's already have a full time job and are reticent to take on more work. And their various levels of technical competence can lead to logistical and quality issues.

What's truly needed is an elite group of data migration experts that take on the burden of migrating the content from one state and format to another. This group does the heavy lifting of inventorying and classifying the content, enriching the content by applying quality metadata, and finally delivering it to the Enterprise Platform group in the right format and structure to be loaded directly into the CMS / Portal / Custom Solution. There's nothing like bringing in a project on time!

Plug us into your project and rest easy. All the data - no matter its size, shape, volume or condition - will be migrated professionally. The project time is saved!

The Content Dynamics approach is a unique blend of Technology, Content Editors and a proven Process that ensures that the gotcha's are anticipated and the quality of the content migration is paramount.

This leaves the Content Owners free to do what they do best; to review, approve and edit their content. All stakeholders have access to the Content Dynamics workflow to monitor, annotate and communicate with Content Dynamics Project Managers and experienced Content Editors. Your Project Leaders will have real-time access to the migration progress at all times.
