Proven to migrate FileNet to AWS S3 with fixed scope & senior engineers

Here is how it works: We extract millions of files from IBM FileNet directly into Amazon S3 or S3 Glacier, building a searchable metadata catalog – all with a fixed-scope project and senior engineers.

The lowest-cost way off IBM FileNet: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.

Automated discovery

Your IBM FileNet estate mapped — workloads, dependencies, licensing — before day one

Conversion tooling

Schema, config and workload translation to Amazon S3, automated where it's safe

Parity validation

Side-by-side testing proves Amazon S3 matches production before cutover

How we support IBM FileNet → Amazon S3 after migration

✓Fixed-scope migration by senior platform engineers
✓Extract files with full metadata to S3 or S3 Glacier
✓Rasterize proprietary annotations to standard PDFs
✓Maintain compliance with searchable metadata catalogs
✓Post-migration support for legacy FileNet during decommission
✓Save 40-70% vs vendor support renewals while you plan

Deeply nested schemas

Direct DB relationships in FileNet P8 database schemas make extraction complex and risky.

Annotation conversion

Proprietary annotation overlays require rasterization to standard PDFs – not a simple copy.

Federation entanglement

FileNet Content Federation Services with lingering source connections block clean data pulls.

IBM FileNet → Amazon S3 migration — your questions answered

Do I need to cut over from vendor support immediately?+

Your existing vendor support continues as long as your contract is active. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform – it is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.

Can you handle complex FileNet schemas and annotations?+

Yes. Direct DB relationships in FileNet P8 schemas, proprietary annotation overlays, and Content Federation Services links are all handled by our extraction and rasterization process.

How long does a typical migration take?+

3-6 months with 2-3 senior consultants. Budget ranges from $60,000 to $500,000 depending on volume and complexity.

How do I maintain searchability after moving to S3?+

We build a searchable metadata catalog in OpenSearch or Elasticsearch. You query the archive as if it were still live, but with zero ongoing maintenance fees.
