Tag: Moving to Cloud

Throughout this bundle of articles, we highlight the advantages of cloud-based systems, checked a variety of problems associated with maintaining on-premises ECM system, give you some reasons to migrate from a Legacy ECM System to the Cloud, and stablish some best practices to successfully migrate… now we give you the tool to do all that!

ECM repositories evolve naturally but, sometimes, the efforts and impact of a product upgrade / migration are considerable, in many ways suspending the upgrade until an “out-of-support” situation. It´s a safe approach? Yes! But it leads us to old systems that limit our innovation, flexibility, agility, and the ability to provide new functionality to stakeholders in the company. Limitations of other solutions:

As you may be aware, we decide to compile a 5-part article regarding the migration of on-premises and legacy systems to the cloud. We already highlight the advantages of cloud-based systems (security, simple sharing, IT infrastructure rationalization, etc.), and checked a variety of problems associated with maintaining on-premises ECM system.

Keeping your ECM System updated its crucial to stay competitive and increase your business agility. In some cases, the best way to guarantee this maintenance is by migrating from your legacy system to a new modern, and cloud-based platform. These is one reason, but there are a few more that we need to highlight. So, in this third part, we’ll check 3 major reasons to migrate from a Legacy ECM System to the Cloud.

In our last article we highlight that the migration of content to the cloud is becoming more popular due to its huge advantages, such as secure and compliant storage, simple sharing and IT infrastructure rationalization, etc.

But why are companies doing this? Are these legacy ECM Systems not safe anymore? Maybe they became obsolete? Or is something else?

In fact, with the evolution of technologies, most ECM are now cloud-based, as on-premises systems often bring challenges related to maintenance, costs and continuity. For example, a cloud-based ECM System, can ease IT management, updates, backups and easily integrate other tools in the ecosystem.

There is a variety of problems associated with maintaining on-premises ECM system. So, in this second part (remember this is a 5-part article) we’ll check all major problems associated with Legacy ECM Systems.
