TSG continues to have success with Hadoop/HBase and DynamoDB as alternatives to legacy ECM platforms that rely on relational databases. As more clients adopt modern NoSQL platforms for ECM, we are seeing additional and interesting benefits from NoSQL/Key-Value database. This post will highlight the 'key' design in these Key-Value databases to allow for massively scalable content management on HBase and DynamoDB for billions of documents and millisecond retrieval times. ...

File Formats Lessons Learned – Legacy ECM Migrations
As we presented yesterday, one of the bigger issues with FileNet Migrations was clients that have leveraged the COLD format and how TSG has come up with our own adapter to help clients move away from FileNet COLD to a less proprietary PDF format. The discussion got us thinking about what other formats need special attention during legacy ECM migrations. This post will discuss some of the various formats and our lessons learned for migrations. TIFF – Tagged Image File Format For ... [Continue Reading]
FileNet COLD Migration – Cracking the proprietary format issue
One of the most difficult things about migrating off of FileNet happens for those clients that have relied on leveraging the FileNet COLD format for storage of computer generated documents from internal systems. Built in the 1990’s in a time when network bandwidth and storage conservation was paramount, the format is unlike any others, badly documented online and very difficult to easily convert into non-proprietary, standard formats like PDF. This post will present how TSG was able ... [Continue Reading]

Veeva Vault – How to Integrate with Other Applications
In some previous posts we discussed our addition of the Veeva Source and Target to our OpenMigrate platform. As we were becoming familiar with the Veeva API for the purposes of migration, we started to think what else could be integrated with a Veeva implementation. It is rare that an ECM system is completely standing alone with no outside integrations and we wanted to explore how those could work with Veeva. This post will cover some examples of potential integrations, as well as ... [Continue Reading]

FileNet Migration – Recorded Alfresco/TSG Webinar – 05/29/2019
On May 29th, 2019, TSG and Alfresco hosted a webinar detailing an innovative solution for migrating off of FileNet onto more modern ECM solutions. Taking the approach of a rolling migration combined with offline access methods enabled users to stop running FileNet very quickly compared to a traditional “big bang” migration approach. When IBM dropped their support for FileNet Content Manager 5.2 on April 30th, many customers were left stranded with an old, unsupported version that may have ... [Continue Reading]
