- No coding was required.
Results
- Dramatic reduction in the cost and time required to migrate each page.
- Completion dates could be fixed because the process ran on a reliable schedule.

Challenge
- The Department of Labor needed to migrate 3,500 pages of content from their intranet portal (Labornet) into Oracle WebCenter.
- The content included ASP, HTML pages and 14,000 assets, including images, Word, PDF, PowerPoint, MP3 and WMV files.
Solution
- They evaluated a “black box” approach, but ultimately chose the Kapow automated solution because it provided the most effective way to extract metadata and binary content without the need for extra coding.
- Kapow was able to crawl the file system directly for content and loop through all the source data, including “orphaned” content.
- Content was loaded directly into Oracle WebCenter through the web front-end.
Results
- They spent 5 days on development.
- The migration was complete in 2.5 weeks.
With Kapow, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services completed their content migration in one-tenth the time.
Challenge
- The DHHS had multiple public-facing websites and portals, each with its own look and feel. They wanted to migrate content to a unified Hyperwave CMS.
- Traditional content migration methods were too time-consuming and costly based on initial estimates.
- As part of content migration, they wanted to detect and correct issues such as broken links.
- As they changed standards, they wanted an automated way to make the changes across all content in the CMS.
Solution
- Using Kapow, web assets and portals were turned into JSR-168 portlets and brought into a single portal, providing a central location to view all DHHS assets.
- Web assets were transformed to promote a common look and feel.
- Content analysis and updates were automated.
- A single search mechanism performs a federated search across all DHHS portlets. Search result links are clipped into a portlet with the same look and feel of the DHHS central site, so links don't take users off the central site.
Results
- 90% reduction of resources and time for content migration.
- No UI redesign was needed.
