Document Repository Modernization

Ageing repositories accumulate value that is easy to overlook in a replacement plan: version chains, link relationships between documents, permission structures refined over years, and the institutional knowledge of where things are. A migration that carries current documents and drops their history produces a repository that works for new content and cannot answer any question about the past — which is usually the question that matters.

Because Centralpoint indexes at record level with version lineage as a record property, history migrates as content rather than as an archive attached alongside. Relationships between records are preserved through taxonomy and audience assignment rather than through folder structure, which means the connections survive a move that changes the physical arrangement entirely.
