What can make these migrations complex?

Enterprise organization modernizing legacy LiveLink content to OpenText cloud
LiveLink has been a core enterprise content management platform since the 1990s, and many organizations now rely on highly customized environments that have evolved over decades. These landscapes often include complex folder hierarchies, bespoke object types, records management, and business‑critical workflows that embed organizational knowledge and compliance rules. Moving that footprint to OpenText Core Content Management is not a lift‑and‑shift exercise; it requires a governed transformation that rethinks information architecture, metadata, permissions, and integrations so your new environment is not only equivalent, but also future‑ready.

FAQ

Can you migrate permissions from LiveLink to OpenText Core Content Management? 

Yes. We map LiveLink permissions to OpenText Core Content Management's security model. Where direct mapping isn't possible, we flag exceptions for review. 

What happens to metadata and versions?

Metadata is transformed according to your target schema. Version history is preserved where supported by OpenText Core Content Management—or exported for archival if needed. 

Can this migration be executed in phases?

Absolutely. Most of our customers migrate in waves—by department, content type, or business unit. We support phased rollouts with parallel access during transition. 

Do you support export-only migrations?

Yes. If you're decommissioning LiveLink without a direct target, we can export your content in a structured, auditable format for long-term archival or future use. 

How do you validate migration results?

We run automated validation checks after every migration batch: file counts, metadata accuracy, permission integrity, and version completeness. You get detailed reports before go-live. 

What if we have custom LiveLink modules or workflows?  

We analyze custom logic during the discovery phase and recommend how to replicate or replace it in OpenText Core Content Management—or retire it if it's no longer needed.
