MAG Introduction

Since DocuWare acquired Westbrook in 2013, our strategy has been to leverage the very best technology from the Westbrook and DocuWare products to create a new, even more compelling, software offering. We took an in-depth look at the Fortis and DocuWare technology architectures before we decided to move the Fortis product lines to the DocuWare platform. We’ve taken on a two-plus year development project to create an outstanding combined product and a migration path from Fortis to DocuWare.

This Migration Assessment Guide has been created by the DocuWare Professional Services Team to educate ADPs on the migration process and to help your customers prepare for the transition from Fortis or FortisBlue to DocuWare.

MAG Goals

The goals that this document is designed to achieve are;

Provide a clear and repeatable process for all ADPs to follow that will ensure successful migration of Fortis and FortisBlue customers to the DocuWare platform.

Provide tools and the knowledge required to use them in order to facilitate a successful migration for customers.

Outline standards for collecting information from and providing useful migration information back to customers to ensure they are well informed during the course of the migration process.

MAG Steps

1. Discovery – Understanding and Documenting current system configuration2. Planning / Determining Effort – Using Migration Discovery to help customers

choose the right DocuWare System to migrate to and to provide them with an estimate of effort.

3. Migration – Execution of the migration plan crafted from steps 1 & 24. Testing / Training– Testing the DocuWare System to ensure complete and

successful migration. Training Outline on what to show the customer on their new DocuWare System.

Discovery

One of the most important steps in any Fortis / FortisBlue to DocuWare migration plan is to understand and document the current system configuration and collect information about the existing data structures and document record counts. This information is vital to being able to effectively estimate the amount of effort to perform the migration and to help in planning out the design of the customer’s new DocuWare System.

Let’s talk about what type of information we recommend you gather as part of any migration discovery.

Current SystemFirst obtain system information to see what the client is using today. This provides a baseline view of what the migration will entail and where to begin. Please refer to the table below for a listing of recommended system configuration data that you should document as part of the discovery process. The table’s second column contains sample data illustrating how we recommend you document the information.

There are also several tools that will be made available by the DocuWare Professional Services team which will gather additional vital discovery documentation about the databases, document types, folder structure and security / permissions settings. It is essential for any migration discovery that the output files from these tools are included along with the information detailed above. The tools themselves are called System Snapshot Tool and Permissions Tool and are discussed in more detail in a later section of this document.

Once all of the migration discovery documentation is gathered the next step is to determine when the customer would be a good candidate for migration to the new environment. To do

that we need to talk briefly about the two types of migrations that will be available and the limitations of each.

Migration ToolsThis type of migration will become available with the release of Fortis / FortisBlue / DocuWare 6.9. A migration tool will be included with Fortis / FortisBlue 6.9 that will partially automate the migration process to a target DocuWare 6.9 System either Cloud or On-Premise. The migration steps with the tools are slightly different and the expectation is that the automated portion of the migration will reduce the amount of labor required to perform it.

1) Migration Discovery2) Migration Planning3) Install / Configure DocuWare4) Run the Fortis / FortisBlue Migration Tool5) Post Migration Tool DocuWare Configuration Updates6) Verification and User Acceptance Testing7) DocuWare moved to Production

Current Functionality of the Migration ToolsThe following is a list of known features of the current migration tools and a rough milestone estimate if / when each new feature might be addressed with updated tools.

Manual MigrationThis type of migration is available today and is the most labor intensive, but the advantage is that there is complete control over the redesign and implementation of the DocuWare System. With a manual migration, we strongly recommend adequate time is allocated to planning out the DocuWare System design using the migration discovery data to ensure that the DocuWare System is going to meet the business needs of the customer.

NOTE: There may be scenarios / considerations for doing a Manual Migration. If you encounter a scenario where you think Manual Migration may be a good solution, we recommend you consult with DocuWare Professional Services and we will be happy to advise you.

DocuWare Migration: Cloud vs. On-PremiseAn equally important part of the Migration Discovery is a conversation with the customer about what type of DocuWare system is best suited for their business needs. There are two main system types to choose between and it is possible to migrate to either one. Here is a brief description of each and some information about a few differences that could impact the customer’s decision.

DocuWare CloudUnique to DocuWare – the cloud system is full-featured with the same core functionality as in the on premise software. In two of the three subscription plans available, the price is based on amount of storage used with an unlimited number of users permitted. DocuWare is the first and – continues to be the only - established ECM provider to offer true “Software as a Service” on the cloud. Fifteen years ago, the company began moving in this direction, setting the stage for today’s DocuWare software that is multi-tenant, service-oriented and scalable. Thanks to the early migration to browser-based technology, DocuWare has comprehensive experience in the cloud arena, which 4,000 users are currently benefiting from. The collective use of a highly scalable cloud system typical of SaaS offers tremendous cost advantages that DocuWare is able to pass along to its users. Since the same technology is used for both cloud and in-house systems, there is no need to develop on separate tracks and every expansion or improvement benefits both cloud and in-house systems equally. Some of the key benefits are;

User-friendly interface

Simple administration

Rapid integration

Absolute data security

Flexible scalability

Secure future

DocuWare On-PremiseDocuWare is a modern document management system for professional enterprise content management. Install the on premise solution on your servers and use it throughout the company. Our flexible license model and various software modules allow you to perfectly tailor the software to your work processes and company requirements.

https://www.docuware.com/document-management-products-and-services/docuware-software-overview

Things to ConsiderDocuWare On-Premise and DocuWare Cloud sharing a single common development track means that for virtually all customers either solution will provide customers with a powerful document management system for many years to come. However, there are a few things to be aware of that may impact the customer’s decision.

What is the customer’s current IT infrastructure? Are the hardware, OS and platforms current and up to date? Will the customer have to spend a significant amount of money to upgrade their infrastructure to properly support DocuWare On-Premise? If so, then we recommend they seriously consider looking at DocuWare Cloud as a cost effective alternative.

Customers who require complex integrations, particularly with database connections may want to consider choosing DocuWare On-Premise. Direct database integration and customizations can be very tricky with any SaaS based application. If DocuWare Cloud is still the best solution for the customer, please consult with DocuWare Professional Services about any potential integration projects before proceeding. Our team has a wealth of experience in performing complex integrations with both DocuWare Cloud and On-Premise solutions.

Migration License CalculatorOur team has put together an online tool that will allow you to enter information about the customer’s current Fortis / FortisBlue licenses and modules and then give you the option to select either Cloud to get an estimated monthly subscription cost or choose On-Premise to get an estimated annual maintenance and support cost. You can find the tool by logging into the DocuWare website partner portal and be using the URL below:

https://www.docuware.com/document-management-partners/fortis-channel-partners

CustomizationsDocuWare has a powerful REST-based API providing functions very similar to the functions provided by the Fortis FCOM and Fortis Web Services APIs. Detailed documentation can be found at: https://saas.docuware.com/DocuWare/Platform/Home/XSL.

In some cases, one or more DocuWare standard products like AutoIndex and SmartConnect may eliminate the need for a customization.

DocuWare Professional Services has the source code for any Fortis customizations developed and supported by DocuWare. A DocuWare Professional Services consultant will

6

Page 9: Document Management and Workflow Automation … · Web viewWindows Server 2008 R2 Server CPU / RAM Intel Xenon E3-1280 3.6GHZ / 12 GB RAM Database Platform / Version Microsoft SQL

examine the code, determine the level of effort and provide a quote to rebuild it using the DocuWare API. In the case of Fortis customizations for which the source code is not available the DocuWare Professional Services consultant will need to gather detailed information about how the customization works in order to determine the effort to migrate it.

Unlike Fortis, DocuWare does not support a DDE API. This means that customizations built around this toolset, such as Fortis EnableIt, will need to be re-engineered rather than migrated. The DocuWare Professional Services consultant will architect a blend of standard DocuWare products and custom code to meet the business requirements.

Database LookupsDatabase Lookups can be accomplished in DocuWare but it will require a little effort. Please make sure your discovery documentation includes information about the data source like what the host application is, what credentials if any are required to access the data, and the specific table(s) and row(s) in the data source that are being used. It is also important to note the target(s) within the current Fortis / FortisBlue system and how the data is currently being used.

Figure 1 Database Lookup Discovery Example

Database Lookups / Integration is another item to be aware of as part of the DocuWare Cloud vs. DocuWare On-Premise decision making process. Using the DocuWare AutoIndex module in the Cloud System is a little more complex as you must package the data to be used by AutoIndex into one or more files and then an FTP connection must be configured and used to upload the data files to the DocuWare Cloud so that AutoIndex can make use of

them. This is not a problem per se but this type of configuration should be performed by a DSC Certified ADP or by DocuWare Professional Services.

ToolsThe DocuWare Professional Services team has developed two migration tools to access the current Fortis configuration and help in planning the migration.

System Snapshot ToolThe first tool runs on a Fortis workstation. The tool prompts for an administrative username and password and then presents a list of databases. The user selects a database and specifies a location for the results. The tool then gathers configuration data into multiple CSV files zipped into a single file.

For each database, the resultant CSV files detail:

The folders with number of documents in each folder and the total number of documents

The query sets, queries and results fields The document types and index field details and the total number of documents per

doctype The picklists

The CSV files are designed to be opened using Excel and stored as worksheets within a workbook.

Permissions ToolsThe second tool uses a two-step process. The first step is to use the Fortis System Administration tool, Output Security option to create an XML file containing the permissions for the Fortis installation. This XML file is then sent to DocuWare Professional Services for processing.

Email for sending XML File: [email protected]

Professional Services uses the second tool to extract the permission data into a series of CSV files stored within a single ZIP file. This ZIP is returned to the partner or customer.

The tool reads the XML file and creates a CSV file for each Fortis user. Each CSV contains the System Feature Access (admin and user), Database Feature Access (admin and user), Database Access, In Basket Access, Folder Access, Query Set Access and Document Type Access settings for that user.

Figure 3 Permissions Tool Example – User Security Output

The tool then creates similar CSV files for each Fortis group. Finally, the tool zips the user CSVs into one ZIP file and the group CSVs into another.

Planning / Determining Effort

Now that we have uncovered the use case, system details and permissions, we can put together a price quote on the Professional Services work to do the migration. Customers are already starting to try and plan a budget for the migration so being able to provide them with a quote is an important part of the process. DocuWare Professional Services has put together some general guidelines based on actual project data of migrations we have performed. The formulas below describe how we are currently estimating migration projects using the documentation collected as part of the migration discovery. Depending on the complexity of the current system you may need to adjust the baseline estimate for each task up or down accordingly. It also includes a sample calculation for illustration purposes.

Migration Task Baseline Estimate CalculationFortis / FortisBlue Upgrade to Current Version

1 hour / version upgrade. If customer is on Fortis 2.5.0 then upgrade 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.8.0, 6.8.0 and 6.9.0

5 versions = 5 hours

Install DocuWare On-Premise / Configure DocuWare Cloud

4 hours (can extend to 8 hours for more complex systems)

4 hours

# of Fortis / FortisBlue Databases: 1

4 hours / database which includes creation of DocuWare File Cabinet + Fields, Select Lists, Search / Store Dialogs and Basic Permissions

1 X 4 = 4 Hours

Total number of documents stored in current system: 100k

*Baseline Throughput is calculated @ 10k documents / hour total for export and import

100k / 10k = 10 Hours (machine time estimate 25% for human interaction) = 3 Hours

Workflow Processes: 1 8 hours / process (may need to adjust based on complexity)

8 Hours

User Training Customize based on DocuWare modules being used

4 Hours

Total Number of Hours 28.0 HoursPS Hourly Rate $150Migration Price Estimate $4200

* NOTE: Document Import Throughput is based on a 5-page scanned doc @ 250Kb. A number of factors can impact import throughput including document size, available CPU / memory of the PC running the import, network speed and storage media read/write speed.

MigrationThis section of the document is dedicated to describing the process of performing the migration including any additional planning and preparation that is required before starting any migration tasks.

Migration PreparationBefore beginning any migration from Fortis to DocuWare there are a few key things you need to do in order to ensure that the migration process runs smoothly and provides for the greatest probability of a successful result. Below is a list of steps that we believe are an essential part of preparing for a successful migration.

1) Upgrade the current system to the latest and greatest version. This step is absolutely mandatory if you will be using the Migration Tools as they are designed so that Fortis / FortisBlue are in lock step with the version of DocuWare that the customer is migrating too. If they are migrating to DocuWare 6.9 then you must upgrade the current system using the proper upgrade path up to the Fortis / FortisBlue 6.9 version.

2) Once you have completed the upgrade process you should run a Verify Database on each of the Fortis Databases from within the Fortis Database Administration Station. At a minimum you want to run a Standard Level verify with Repair Errors found enabled. If you would like to identify ahead of time if there are any database records that are missing the corresponding document file in the archive, then you should run the Document File Level verify instead.

NOTE: The Document File Level Verify will check for the existence of a document in the archive for all of the database records. This requires that the entire document archive be online and accessible during the Database Verify and for very large databases this process can take an extended period of time i.e. days or even weeks for extremely large databases. If the Database Verify identifies records that are missing document files you may wish to contact Fortis Software Support for assistance with identifying the specific files that are missing so that you can check any existing backups to possibly restore the missing document files.

3) Once all databases have been verified and any problems identified and corrected the next step is to add a DocumentID field to each of the Fortis Document Types in all databases. The DocumentID field will be used to verify that each data record is unique and will allow you to track down any records if an error should occur during migration. Another benefit of adding DocumentID is that if desired, we can use it outside of the migration tools as a match code for the DocuWare AutoIndex module to populate Fortis records into the destination DocuWare File Cabinet.

4) We will also need to run the Fortis Database Administration Tool “Update System Fields” for each document type to update all the data for the newly added DocumentID field.

12

Page 15: Document Management and Workflow Automation … · Web viewWindows Server 2008 R2 Server CPU / RAM Intel Xenon E3-1280 3.6GHZ / 12 GB RAM Database Platform / Version Microsoft SQL

5) Once all the document types have a populated DocumentID field make a full backup of all the Fortis databases and we also recommend making a full backup of the document archives.

6) Once all backups are completed and verified our last step is to check each database for Audit_Log entries. If Audit_Log entries exist, we must verify with the customer if they need to migrate their Fortis Audit information into DocuWare for historical reference / compliance requirements. If the answer is yes, then we recommend creating a separate DocuWare file cabinet to contain the Fortis Audit data.

Migration ProcessThis section will provide a high-level overview of the migration process to DocuWare.

Migration with Tools1) Migration Discovery2) Migration Planning3) Install / Configure DocuWare4) Run the Fortis / FortisBlue Migration Tool5) Post Migration Tool DocuWare Configuration Updates6) Verification and User Acceptance Testing7) DocuWare moved to Production

Let’s talk a little bit about step four, running the migration tool. The migration tool is self-guiding so you can just click on the tool and follow the prompts. Here is basic overview of how the migration tool will work.

1) Run a query or a browse that will return the documents you wish to migrate into DocuWare.

2) Click on the “Copy to DocuWare” Button.3) You will be prompted to provide some information about the DocuWare Cloud / On-

Premise system that we will be migrating the data to.4) Click on “Start Migration”5) Verify your Fortis Password6) The migration tool will proceed to copy your Fortis system settings (Document Types,

Fields, etc.) to a DocuWare File Cabinet. Documents and Index Data from the query results are also moved over during this process.

7) When the migration tool is complete you choose either “Next Steps” or “Open DocuWare” and the migration tool will exit.

Testing / TrainingTesting

Your goal in testing is to ensure that everything needed to be migrated to DocuWare has been successfully copied. We recommend that you use the data files generated by the System Snapshot Tool as a post-migration checklist. Below is a list of the items you should verify as completed in DocuWare and deliver to the end user as a completion of work validation

File Cabinets

13

Page 16: Document Management and Workflow Automation … · Web viewWindows Server 2008 R2 Server CPU / RAM Intel Xenon E3-1280 3.6GHZ / 12 GB RAM Database Platform / Version Microsoft SQL

o Verify that for each Fortis / FortisBlue Database there is now a DocuWare File Cabinet.

o Verify within each File Cabinet that all of the fields from the document types have been created in the File Cabinet.

o Using Search Dialogs verify that the number of records / documents per document type in DocuWare matches the number of documents from the source system.

Dialogso Verify that there is one Search and one Store Dialog for each document

type migrated from the source system.o Verify the Search Dialogs against the list of queries from the source

system. Select Lists

o Verify for each file cabinet that a select list and all appropriate values exist for each pick list that was migrated from the source system.

Training

Partner Migration TrainingAs the time of the DocuWare 6.9 release approaches and we are able to make the software available to partners we will also be providing details about Migration training for QFP / CFBE certified partner staff.

Providing Training to End Users A vital part of any migration from Fortis / FortisBlue to DocuWare must include training the end users in the usage of DocuWare. Many of the concepts are the same but DocuWare does have a number of key differences in terminology and user interface.

Plan to spend at least a few hours with the end users to demonstrate the differences in how DocuWare can be used to Capture, Route and Retrieve documents. Let’s talk about a few examples that you might want to consider in training that you provide to customers. The outline below is an example but end user training should always be tailored to the specifics of how the customer will be using DocuWare within their organization.

Terminology Provide users a foundation of terminology, explain things like document tray, file

cabinet, store / search dialogs, etc. A basic understanding of terminology will help the rest of training go more

smoothly.
