ITI Legacy Data Migration Archive
Explore ITI's legacy data migration archive solution, a stand-alone application that enables search, navigation, and download of previously archived PDM/CAD data.
- Search: Utilize wildcard searches and query object properties.
- Navigate: Explore parent and child relationships, revisions/versions, and configurations.
- Download: Access independent objects or the full structure of an object.
ITI's Team Approach
A team approach is critical to the success of a data migration project. ITI's dedicated migration consultants work collaboratively with customers, guiding them through important business decisions to create the optimal migration plan.
- Optimal data migration strategy: big bang, contained waves, or incremental migration by the program?
- Appropriate data migration revision and version history scope: all revisions/versions or only the latest revisions/versions?
- Reconciliation of duplicate items: preserving master versus slave; and renaming when actually different models.
- E-BoM & CAD alignment: integrated or separate?
- CAD alignment with derived drawing viewable: determining the best approach.
- Plan for CAD name/part number origination/assignment: fetch and align with ERP or rename existing CAD models?
- Effective multi-CAD support within PLM: handling multiple CAD representations and heterogeneous CAD structures.
- Enabling effective 3D CAD part assembly visualization: derive requisite data as pre-migration or post-migration?
