Frame 32-2

Many enterprises are moving away from Documentum. The reasons vary: high license costs, lack of flexibility, or the shift to Microsoft 365 as the new enterprise standard. Over time, Documentum environments often become rigid silos—difficult to modernize, secure, or integrate with cloud-first systems.

SharePoint Embedded introduces a new content architecture. It’s a headless, API-first content platform from Microsoft. Your content resides directly in your Microsoft 365 tenant, with full control over structure, security, and lifecycle governance.

Xillio helps you migrate from Documentum to SharePoint Embedded with precision. No rework. No chaos. Just a secure, future-ready move with complete control at every step.

Why organizations replace Documentum with SharePoint Embedded

  • Store content securely in your own Microsoft 365 tenant
  • Avoid reliance on traditional SharePoint UI
  • Leverage an API-first platform that integrates with your business apps
  • Enable Microsoft Purview features for native retention, DLP, and eDiscovery
  • Eliminate legacy system overhead and simplify compliance
  • Move from rigid customizations to flexible, scalable content architecture

Xillio’s Documentum connector is built for high-volume, high-fidelity migrations into SharePoint Embedded. It handles all the intricacies of legacy Documentum repositories, so you don’t have to.

  • Extracts documents, folders, custom metadata, permissions, and versions from Documentum
  • Resolves ACLs and permission inheritance with mapping to Microsoft Entra ID
  • Loads content into our Unified Content Store for processing and transformation
  • Publishes content into SharePoint Embedded using the Microsoft Graph API
  • Avoids throttling with optimized API throughput and granular permission handling
  • Offers full transparency with logs, status updates, and audit-ready reports

With Xillio, you get the control, speed, and compliance needed to move from Documentum to SharePoint Embedded with confidence.

How we migrate Documentum to SharePoint Embedded

We start by extracting content from your Documentum environment, including documents, metadata, version history, and security rules. This is ingested into our Unified Content Store for preparation and validation.

Next, we:

  • Work with your teams to define the target structure and metadata mapping
  • Convert Documentum ACLs to Microsoft Entra ID groups and permissions
  • Ingest content into SharePoint Embedded using a resilient and high-speed API flow
  • Validate the migrated data and deliver reconciliation and audit reports
  • Support delta migrations, phased rollouts, and link redirection if needed

The result is a clean, controlled migration that aligns with your security, governance, and operational goals.
