Solution · Migration
Plan migrations soundly, implement them securely, and protect ongoing operations.
With migRaven.MAX, you migrate data and permissions to new systems or to the cloud in a controlled manner. You identify risks and dependencies in advance, clean up legacy data, and preserve important links.
Make data migratable
Readiness rules check file types, data age, path lengths and other requirements before data is released for migration.
Reduce costs permanently
Delete or archive legacy data before migration instead of permanently transferring unnecessary data volumes to SharePoint or new storage systems.
Plan migration reliably
Centrally manage scope, data owners, target systems, migration waves and status.
Protect operations
Identify application dependencies and file links before the cutover and keep them functional after migration.
What slows down migrations and endangers operations
Data not migration-ready.
Paths that are too long, unsuitable file types and exceeded capacity limits can prevent a clean migration. Structures that have grown over time must first be prepared for the target environment.Legacy data drives up costs.
Unused data unnecessarily increases migration effort and continues to occupy storage afterwards. Without clean-up, costs remain high even after the move. In many environments that have grown over time, 60–80 % of data is redundant, obsolete or trivial.Missing decisions slow things down.
Without involved data owners, it remains unclear which data should be migrated, archived, or deleted. Unclear responsibilities and uncoordinated tasks complicate planning.Unclear rights pose risks.
Access rights that have grown over time must be reviewed and adjusted for the target environment. Otherwise, unnecessary permissions and existing security issues can be carried over.Changed paths jeopardize workflows.
New storage locations can break internal links and file access for applications. Documents no longer work as expected; operational disruptions and costly rework are likely.How your migration becomes manageable
Migration with migRaven.MAX: planning, decisions, and execution run on a single platform – from the initial analysis to the repaired links in the target environment.
All stakeholders on the same page
Admins, project management, and business units coordinate tasks and deadlines centrally – from planning to acceptance.
Involve business departments
Data owners process their assigned areas in a guided workflow – from clean-up and archiving to selecting the migration target.
Only what is relevant moves
Only business-relevant data is transferred; legacy data can be deleted or archived.
Manage readiness & scope
Only directories that meet defined migration rules proceed to the next phase.
Safeguard migration
Centrally monitor migration waves, jobs and status, and restore file links after the move.
Five steps to a controlled migration
Data owners and central project management support the entire process.
Analyze
Make data age, file types, directory depths, permissions and possible owners visible – as a solid basis for planning.
Sustainable clean-up
Decide together with the data owners which data is still needed. Specifically separate, archive, or delete legacy data – thereby reducing migration scope and ongoing storage costs.
Design target structure
Plan a clear target structure for data and permissions together with the business departments. Flat directories, clear responsibilities, and appropriate access rights lay the foundation for future collaboration.
Migrate data in a controlled manner
Transfer the approved data to the new target structure on a scheduled basis and in packages. Coordinate tasks and deadlines centrally and implement the intended permissions in the target.
Repair internal links
After the transfer, adjust internal links to the changed storage locations. This keeps linked documents usable even after migration.
Max AI supports project planning and the decisions of the business departments.
AI support for project management and business departments
No generic AI response – MAX AI works with the context of your actual systems and structures.
Support project planning
Support project planning
MAX AI answers questions about the migration project in the context of the actual environment – for example, which directories violate a readiness rule, where risks exist, or which areas need to be prepared for a migration wave.
Prepare decisions
Prepare decisions
For a directory, MAX AI can create an exposé with data age, anomalies, migration status and next steps, and consolidate information from the Knowledge Graph
Guide business departments
Guide business departments
Max AI supports onboarding, explains technical findings, and answers questions in natural language. The Data Owner Wizard guides users through review, clean-up, and target determination.
From lift & shift to a controlled migration
Both approaches get the data to the target – only one does not bring the legacy burden along.
1:1 transfer without clean-up
Legacy burdens are carried over
Unnecessary migration and storage costs
Existing permission issues remain
Broken links and manual rework are likely
Migration with migRaven.MAX
Migrate only the data that is needed
Reduce data volume and follow-up costs
Review and clean up permissions
Automatically repair internal links
