- Multiple containers
- Multiple users, repository data
- Data clean-up prior to migration
- Blank cloud database
Challenges
With efficiency and scalability in mind, Wilkes Artis made the decision to transition from their on-premise iManage DMS to the iManage Cloud. The move would allow attorneys to work smarter for their clients with increased security and accessibility while reducing their IT workload. This solution would support future growth and improvements, helping them maintain their competitive edge as the leader in real estate tax and condemnation litigation.
As an already trusted integration partner, Keno Kozie Associates was engaged to oversee the project and ensure a successful migration.

Solution
SeeUnity’s Velocity Content Migration product (Velocity) was selected as the migration tool for the project. Velocity’s comprehensive capabilities enabled the team to make changes at the time of the uplift to produce increased effectiveness of the iManage Cloud solution.
Velocity’s migration process includes validating the source system data in preparation for the move. This critical step gives a clear view of the content involved and allows for proper clean-up, re-organization, and transformation if needed, before the actual transition. Potential issues can be identified and resolved. Data delivered into the iManage Cloud environment is optimized to take full advantage of the advanced features.
Benefits
Utilizing SeeUnity’s Velocity product to validate, test, and remediate issues prior to cutover greatly minimized the time and effort to go-live. The process allowed for an efficient and timely cutover where the iManage Cloud environment was prepared and ready to be up and live with no downtime. This approach also lessened the impact to users productivity and encouraged adoption of the new system.
