In order to simplify matters, many companies therefore move from highly customized Document Management Systems (DMS) to standardized systems like FirstDoc from CSC. This often implies a content migration of extremely large data volumes with complex structures and an extensive version history. A successful project of this kind at Boehringer Ingelheim demonstrates how this can be done with migration-center from fme.
