With Cloud computing continuing to gain popularity for business IT functions, it’s becoming easier than ever to move data from disconnected sources into one central database. Doing so can simplify operations, reduce costs and increase productivity. But, implementing a new solution is a major investment in both time and resources for a company. And migrating technical documentation and parts information into a new ECM system has a reputation for being a painful and frustrating process. WHAT IF IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT? In this presentation, we’ll be exploring the steps you can take to accelerate content migration projects, as well as lessons learned from helping our customers migrate hundreds of thousands of pages of parts information.

1. Title

6. There is data.
• Can consist of Part data, catalog
metadata, assembly metadata,
serial number data, service data
of all types, service comments,
annotations, etc.
• This can be either structured,
semi-structured, or
unstructured.
There is content.
• Can consist of Operators Manuals,
Service Instructions, Replacement
Video animations, Links to external
websites/forums, Lubrication
guidelines, Bills of Lading, etc.
• This content helps to enhance the
utility of the part catalogs and
provides necessary information to
dealers, retailers, and end users.

7. SaaS products are centrally hosted, cloud-based, and accessed via web browsers by
users that have an account for that software or service.
Benefits:
• No on-premise concept
• Software updates are easy
• Not on disparate/separate databases
• Once your data is migrated, it is accessible by all users
• The SaaS provider carries the burden of making sure the product is available and
working--relieving your organization/IT of having to have to worry about those
things
