Generally, a migration involves two part of the processes:
- Data Migration
This could be any form of file, such as images, videos, audio, or 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 :)
- With the databasics BEST or Hands ON! service level, we will migrate the content for the customer, the actual upload process happens within the customer's environment, so we will require access to a machine to be used for the migration that has the access to the content to be migrated.
