  • Patent number: 10242010
    Abstract: A method, framework, and computer program product are provided in order to migrate data files associated with a source enterprise application to a target enterprise application. A migration utility framework including processing circuitry may be configured to: generate a migration map to map a plurality of data files from a source enterprise application to a target enterprise application; validate the migration map, where the processing circuitry to validate the migration map includes processing circuitry to determine if target enterprise application requirements are met for both file types of the plurality of data files and metadata of the plurality of data files; generate a hash value of a validated map in response to validating the map, where the hash value represents only the validated map; and migrate the plurality of data files from the source enterprise application to the target enterprise application according to the validated map.

  • Patent number: 9495440
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for routing files within a document management system. The document management system may comprise or may otherwise communicate with an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system and Full Text Search (FTS) indexing system. Files may be fed to a file routing apparatus with different priorities based on an originating source. The files may be routed for OCR processing and/or FTS indexing based on file and/or document types, licensing, and/or the like. Images and corresponding machine-readable text may be archived. Text may be FTS indexed so that the associated files may be identified and accessed by various client systems.
