Case Study: Department of Education and Early Childhood Development achieves 95% faster migration of 11,000+ web pages to SharePoint with AvePoint DocAve

Department Of Education And Early Childhood Development Migrates Website Content From EMC® Documentum® To Microsoft® SharePoint® 95% Faster With DocAve®

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) in Victoria, Australia needed to consolidate its SharePoint 2010 intranet and a public-facing EMC Documentum website onto a single platform. Facing an estimated 400 days of manual work to move an 8,000-page site (or 40 days with a 10-person team) and the risk of data loss, DEECD required a fast, full‑fidelity migration that preserved metadata for SEO and search.

DEECD engaged AvePoint’s DocAve Documentum and Website Migrator and the AvePoint Partner Services (APPS) team to perform a bulk, lossless transfer into SharePoint. The team migrated more than 11,000 pages—migrating the largest 8,000‑page site in 20 days (95% faster than manual)—preserving all code and metadata, minimising disruption, and allowing administrators to focus on user training.
