Gain a single view of information across content siloes
Content chaos, or content sprawl, results when documents are stored in multiple repositories, in different business applications, or on network drives. While a single repository can offer significant advantages and “a single source of truth,” the large migration effort can be risky. Alfresco Federation Services avoid the risks of complex migrations and lets users find and manage information faster across more than 60 leading business systems and content repositories such as Documentum, OpenText and IBM FileNet as well as network drives and emails.
Federated Search

- Users work in the environment they are accustomed to
- Extend Alfresco use cases across repositories for a 360 degree view. For example, enable enterprise-wide case management
- Intelligent migration – Configure rules that migrate content to decommission older systems over time

Intelligent Content Migration
Migrate content over time, with minimal disruption to mitigate migration risks:
- Migrate in the background with minimal disruption to the business, processes or users. Whenever a document is opened by an end-user, it gets immediately migrated to Alfresco
- Once the Intelligent Content Migration is verified as complete, the legacy systems can be switched off and the organizations can benefit from a single central content repository
- Alfresco offers a proven migration tool when a bulk migration is required to decommission a legacy system immediately
