ImageRight to OpenText Content Management Migration

Moving from ImageRight to OpenText Content Management gives you control over your content infrastructure while modernizing your platform. Improve scalability, and maintain compliance,  without disrupting daily operations. 

Source

  • ImageRight (on-premise deployments)

Target

  • OpenText Content Management – On-Premise
  • OpenText Content Management – Managed Services
Export-only option available 

Typical challenges

  • Complex metadata models – ImageRight's index fields and drawer structures require precise mapping to OpenText categories and attributes 
  • Custom cabinet configurations – Business-specific organization schemes need transformation logic 
  • Workflow dependencies – Active routing rules and business processes must be analyzed and migrated or recreated 
  • Compliance and audit requirements – Retention schedules, legal holds, and audit logs must transfer intact 

  • Link Redirection – Managing links that point to archived content

What Can Make This Migration Complex 

ImageRight runs deep. Highly customized drawers, cabinets, indexes, workflow routing, and retention rules are often tightly coupled, so there’s no clean one‑to‑one hop into OpenText Content Management. Xillio first unpacks that ImageRight structure into a neutral data model, then deliberately redesigns metadata, foldering, and permissions for OpenText Content Management — so policies, security, and relationships behave as expected on day one.

How Xillio Addresses This 

Pre-migration content analysis

We profile your ImageRight repository to identify risks, exceptions, and transformation needs before migration starts

Validation, reporting, and repeatability

Every object is validated post-migration. Detailed reports show what moved, what changed, and why 

Proven enterprise migration framework

We've migrated billions of documents across regulated industries. Our process is tested, repeatable, and auditable 

Proven at Scale

Xillio has delivered hundreds of enterprise migrations across financial services, government, and healthcare. Our extensive library of connectors, including ImageRight and OpenText, are built on 20+ years of migration experience. 

FAQ

Can you migrate permissions from ImageRight to OpenText Content Management?

Yes. We map ImageRight user roles and document security to OpenText permissions, preserving access controls. Complex security models are analyzed and reconstructed to match your target structure. 

What happens to metadata and versions? 
All index field values are mapped to OpenText categories and attributes. Version histories are preserved, including modification notes and timestamps. You decide which versions to migrate. 
Can this migration be executed in phases?
Absolutely. We support phased migrations by department, document type, or business unit. This reduces risk and allows you to validate results before moving the next batch. 
Do you support export-only migrations? 

Yes. If you need to archive ImageRight content without importing it into OpenText, we can export everything to a structured format with full metadata and audit trails intact. 

How do you validate migration results? 
We run automated validation checks on every migrated object—comparing source and target metadata, file integrity, permissions, and folder structure. You receive detailed reports showing pass/fail status and any exceptions. 
How long does an ImageRight to OpenText migration take? 
It depends on volume, complexity, and your validation requirements. A typical enterprise migration takes 8–16 weeks from analysis to go-live. We provide a detailed timeline after the initial assessment.
