Document migration

Migrating fifteen years of documents. Without losing a single one.

Your documents currently sit on an old network drive, in Google Drive, SharePoint, a wiki, ... . We collect them, put them in the right place, and count afterwards to check everything is there. You see the complete plan before anything moves.

Where we collect from
Network drive, SharePoint and OneDrive, Confluence, Google Drive, ...
When anything moves
Only after you have approved the plan
When it is finished
When every document has been counted and nothing is outstanding
Sound familiar?

Everyone knows it has to happen. Nobody dares to start.

There are four versions of the same contract, and nobody knows which one is correct any more.

Half of it is on the network drive, the rest in mailboxes and on laptops.

Migrating is scary: if something disappears, you only notice months later.

That last one is the real reason it keeps getting postponed. It is exactly what we built this for.

How it works

Four steps. You can stop after each one.

1

Offiks.ai takes stock: first a look at what is there

Offiks.ai makes an inventory: how many documents, how old, what is duplicated, who has access where. No content is read — only names, dates, sizes and permissions. You get a report showing what is there.

2

Offiks.ai plans: you only approve

Offiks.ai proposes which document goes where, and with which attributes. The plan first runs as a dry run: for each document you see where it would end up, without anything being moved. Only once you sign off does anything happen.

3

Offiks.ai migrates: in batches, while everyone keeps working

First the structure and the access rights, again with a trial run beforehand. Then Offiks.ai moves the documents themselves, in batches. Each document keeps a record of where it came from, so you can always trace it back.

4

Offiks.ai counts: only done when everything is there

At the end Offiks.ai does a count: this many left, this many arrived. If even one document is still outstanding or has failed, the answer is not “done”. Errors are not averaged away — they block sign-off until they are resolved.

The four questions everyone asks

Four concerns, four honest answers

“Can my people keep working?”

Yes. This is not a weekend where everything grinds to a halt. During the migration, everyone simply keeps working in the old location. We keep track of what changes in the meantime. At the moment of switchover we only pick up those changes — a matter of minutes, not hours.

“And if something goes wrong?”

Then we pick up where it stopped. We track the progress of each document separately, so an interrupted migration does not start over and never delivers anything twice. Whatever failed stays visible until it is resolved.

“Does my data stay mine?”

The analysis runs on our consultant’s machine, not in a cloud. Nothing leaves except the documents that move according to your approved plan. The worklist with your file names is deleted afterwards.

“And the old versions and permissions?”

Old versions can come along, in the right order, if you want — by default only the latest one moves. We read out access rights and translate them too. Where the system is unsure, a person decides: existing permissions are never simply overwritten.

Where your documents are now

Three starting points

Network drive

The classic shared drive with years of history. We read out the folders and access rights exactly as they are.

SharePoint & OneDrive

This is the fastest route. Microsoft gives us a fingerprint per file, so we can count duplicates without opening the files themselves. Deleted documents are also properly included in the count.

Confluence

For attachments in a wiki. We use Confluence labels as a starting point for attributes — but never automatically: you decide which ones are included.

Curious what you have?

The first step is an inventory of your current documents. It produces a report you can use even without us: how many documents, how old, how many duplicates, and what would stand in the way of a migration. After that, you decide whether to go further.
