A unique approach to XML content conversion

Migrate provides a very attractive alternative to traditional outsourced conversion services, helping team members to:

  • Convert documents on-demand, with immediate results
  • Directly improve the quality of converted content
  • Save time (and potential frustration) by avoiding the need to go back-and-forth with conversion partners for QA purposes
  • Be in full control of production schedules, with no need for the content freeze typically required in batch conversion projects
  • Reduce conversion costs
  • Operate on a pay-as-you-go basis

Get up and running quickly with your own conversion portal

We can quickly provide you with your unique conversion portal, configured according to your own sample documents and target DITA, including any specializations that might be required.

Following initial set-up, the processing of documents is very rapid and straightforward. Documents are uploaded to the Migrate portal where they are analyzed, converted and results further refined as necessary, using the Migrate Rules Editor, prior to download or export to your Component Content Management System (CCMS).

Advanced XML content conversion technology

The powerful technology behind Migrate enables it to automatically address several issues that are typically seen as a challenge in conversion, and ultimately saves a great deal of manual effort and QA activity that would otherwise be required, for example:

  • Complicated tables (with row and column spanning) are converted automatically
  • Ability to leverage context to differentiate between ‘steps in a task’ and ‘numbered lists in a reference topic’
  • Use of context and pattern matching, in addition to styling, to automatically identify and correctly mark-up inline styling
  • Automatically configure the structure of your BookMap or DITA map, or sub maps, at any level you choose
  • Access information that is not always visible in the content flow, e.g., index markers to index terms, conditional text to DITA attributes, variables to conrefs or keyrefs
  • Automatically convert FrameMaker and Word equations to MathML
  • Automatically convert FrameMaker drawings to SVG

Easy-to-use rules editor saves time and improves conversion quality

An easy-to-use, but very powerful rules editor enables team members to adjust the conversion rules to handle processing exceptions and incrementally improve the quality of the XML generated. This can help to reduce the time spent in manual pre-conversion prep and/or post-conversion clean-up.

Importantly, you don’t have to be a developer to use the rules editor—no need to write conversion scripts or understand code—just a good knowledge of your content and an idea of what you want it to look like in the output. And you can adjust the rules and re-covert the same document as many times as is required, without incurring any additional charges.
