The Hotelplan Group – a subsidiary of the MigrosGenossenschafts-Bund – had two archive systems, which were used by Hotelplan with 1,700 users and Interhome with 800 users respectively. The existing archives were subject to high and continuously increasing costs while providing an inadequate service. The company wanted a solution that had already been used in the Migros Group and had good references in Switzerland. Expertise and a quick understanding of special processes, which do not always correspond to the SAP standard, were further requirements for the project.
Based on the archive software from kgs, Arcplace implemented a solution for archiving new documents and transferring the existing ones. After the conception and modularisation of the work packages – which included installation, migration, VIM integration and scanning methods – approximately 1.5 million documents were migrated from the test system and around 6.3 million from the productive environment into the kgs archive. The components kgs ContentServer, kgs MigrationServer, kgs ProxyServer and kgs ScanClient were used.
