KGS Migration4SAP Speed

SAP ArchiveLink Migration with KGS Migration4SAP can migrate more than 1+ million documents per day in a 24 hours operation, with three parallel instances on one server and 32 parallel threads on each instance. This translates into more than 7 million documents per week in a full production environment when sun-setting existing SAP archiving solutions.

Improving Readability on Scanned Images

Kofax VRS significantly improves image quality during the scanning process. Whether you use Kofax scanning software or other scanning software, Kofax VRS crops and deskews images, removes speckles and smudges, background colors and punch hole shadows. I have seen readability and OCR rates go up significantly with the use of this tool.

Filenames in ArchiveLink Attachment List

SAP has added the functionality of displaying file names in addition to document type descriptions in the ArchiveLink attachment list. This requires a certain release and support package level as well as configuration. Please, check out OSS notes  0001451769 and 0001560955.

US Bank Quote I

A large nationwide US Bank contracted with SolutionXchg to conduct a high-profile migration.

The project required to move 2.8 million PDF documents from an OpenText and an SAP Content server archive to a new IBM FileNet P8 system. This is what the customer had to say after the cut-over:

“Quiet morning… thanks for checking in. EXCELLENT job. Everyone thought this conversion [from the SAP Content Server] would be a mess… YOU ROCK! I greatly appreciate you [and your team]. As a production support person, no one could appreciate this more. Content Server has been a nightmare for years. Again… Thank YOU!”

Betty Tr., System Support Analyst

Justin Brands Quote III

Justin Brands used existing SAP infrastructure and the KGS ContentServer4Storage to store data and documents more efficiently and contain maintenance costs:

“For the past several years, we’ve been struggling to maintain a propriety archival solution that was demanding an increasing amount of our time and fiscal resources to preserve the customer records that are so central to our business. That all ended with SolutionXchg. Today, we have an SAP-centric solution that has dramatically improved how we access, store and administer customer records.”

US Bank Quote II

A large nationwide US Bank contracted with SolutionXchg to conduct a high-profile migration.

The project required to move 2.8 million PDF documents from an OpenText and an SAP Content server archive to a new IBM FileNet P8 system:

“The experience was wonderful! [The project went so smooth that] we did not have to manage the end user, their expectations and their concerns. The cut-over was a non-event. I wish all our cut-overs would work like that. All business stakeholders are extremely happy. I am glad we chose SolutionXchg and the proxy approach!”

Lorenz Ob., Technology Manager

Justin Brands Quote II

Justin Brands used existing SAP infrastructure and the KGS ContentServer4Storage to store data and documents more efficiently and contain maintenance costs. SolutionXchg contributed throughout the entire planning and migration process:

“No matter how good your internal IT team is, it’s impossible to match the broad exposure SolutionXchg brings to the table through their work with a wide range of clients implementing best practice archiving solutions. By tapping into this expertise, we were able to deliver a very successful project that exceeded our expectations on all fronts. With SolutionXchg’s help, we now have a cost- effective archiving solution that offers the flexibility and scalability we require to respond to changing business conditions and support future growth.”
