Generally, a migration involves two part of the processes:
- Data Migration
This could be any form of files, such as images, videos, audio, and document files. Things to ask yourself:- Where are the current assets saved?
- Are all assets required to be brought over to Canto?
- Metadata Migration
Usually refers to the descriptive information that is embedded in or associated with a digital file, the commonly seen examples could be keywords and descriptions.
- Some system supports exporting the existing metadata in a CSV format which can be used to upload to Canto to maintain the existing metadata from the previous system.
Note, it is also a good opportunity to review the content to be migrated and filter out any unwanted content, so that you can start with a clean and fresh system :)
