Cloud Migration Link Fixing
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 Cloud Platforms such as Office 365, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Box, AWS, or Google, 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’s EUC Insight Link Fixer Software provides a Link Fixing Solution that identifies and fixes these broken links. Best of all, EUC Insight can be used either before or after the Cloud migration.
