How a university undertook safe secure data migration with Castlepoint

Castlepoint was implemented to support a large-scale data migration project.

Castlepoint was implemented to support a large-scale data migration project. Castlepoint audited a legacy system which had over 5,000 collaboration sites to identify (based on regulatory obligations, risk and value) which content was required to be migrated into the new cloud environment. Migration is an important and frequently necessary part of the data lifecycle, but inappropriate migration can cause irreversible damage. The Dallas Police, for example, lost over 8 million files this way, a disaster affecting important cases and costing a great deal to try to recover from. The Australian National University is one of the world’s leading research universities and wanted to prevent this kind of issue.

Castlepoint was implemented to support a large-scale data migration project. Castlepoint audited a legacy system which had over 5,000 collaboration sites to identify (based on regulatory obligations, risk and value) which content was required to be migrated into the new cloud environment. We mapped all legacy content to current business owners using a four-dimensional named entity ontology, and provided the data needed to properly engage with those business owners to confirm migration requirements; transfer and validate the migration, and manage the migration processes.
