What is ECM Migration Strategy?

ECM migrations fail in the middle more often than at either end. The easy content moves quickly, the difficult content is deferred, and the organization runs two systems indefinitely with users unsure which holds what. Avoiding it means sequencing by governance difficulty rather than by volume — proving the pattern on the hardest, most regulated corpus first, so the remainder is repetition rather than discovery. Because governance in Centralpoint is a property of records rather than a configuration bound to the first collection, a pattern proven on a difficult corpus extends to easier ones by assignment. Harmonization also removes the forced choice: the source system can keep operating while its content is governed and retrievable through Centralpoint, which turns a cutover into a transition rather than an event.
