Case Study: Middle Eastern Government Agency achieves 6‑month faster, full‑fidelity migration to SharePoint from three legacy systems with AvePoint's DocAve

Middle Eastern Government Agency Saves Six Months Migrating Content from Three Legacy Systems to Microsoft® SharePoint® with DocAve®

A Middle Eastern government agency running SharePoint 2010, EMC Documentum and file shares decided to consolidate into a multi‑farm SharePoint 2013 environment (intranet, public portal, projects). IT needed to selectively migrate and reorganize content without losing metadata or disrupting users, and required better auditing and farm‑health reporting—limitations in native SharePoint meant a manual migration was expected to take about nine months.

The agency deployed AvePoint DocAve (Content Manager, Migrator, Report Center) to perform granular, full‑fidelity migrations, schedule overnight jobs, and generate usage and security reports. Using DocAve they migrated 400 GB of content (eliminating 210 GB of unwanted files), cut the migration timeline from nine to three months, enabled one administrator to manage the project, and gained ongoing reporting and auditing capabilities to secure and optimize their new SharePoint farms.
