End User Computing (EUC) files and content such as Excel spreadsheets, SharePoint Pages, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, PDF files, Access databases, and scripts are frequently linked to other files and/or location dependent data sources. When this content is moved to Box, these data links can break leading to erroneous calculations and data outputs, causing serious data integrity and quality issues. Because these files represent a small fraction of everything that is to be migrated, identifying them can be difficult.
CIMCON has partnered with Box to provide a Link Fixing Solution that identifies and fixes these broken links when moving files to the Box Cloud Platform. Best of all, EUC Insight can be used either before or after the Cloud migration.
Benefits
- Perform a Fast Scan to quickly gain high level insights into your Migration landscape. Categorize data by file type, risk level or other policies.
- Create an enterprise data flow / lineage map.
- Identify files with link issues, and fix them using the Server-based EUC Insight Link Fixer application.
- All data is stored in a SQL database for ease of integration and reporting.
- View Validation Reports to ensure accuracy and completion.
EUC Insight Link Fixer
EUC Insight Link Fixer is a server-based solution that is ideal as part of a centralized data migration project. No software installation is required on the file servers or user desktops. It scans your network or Cloud drive before or after migration, categorizes all files by type and age, identifies and then fixes all broken links once uploaded to the Box platform. Validation reports can be run after the links are fixed to ensure accuracy and completeness.
