Legacy Data Import
Extract files and metadata from existing locations and move them into iBase with a bespoke approach shaped around the source material.
Data migration and import
Move Legacy DataInto a Cleaner DAM Structure
Bring existing files and metadata into iBase with extraction planning, mapping, cleansing, repeatable imports and ongoing ingestion routes that make legacy content easier to rely on.
Migration routes
Shape Existing Content
iBase migration support can help teams move from legacy folders, spreadsheets, databases or older DAM systems into a repository with cleaner fields, usable structure and repeatable import logic.
Mapped Ongoing Ingestion
Point iBase at exported metadata files and use custom data maps so ongoing imports land in the right fields and structures.
Data Manipulation and Cleansing
Standardise and improve legacy information before or during migration so teams inherit cleaner records rather than old problems.
Migration quality
Reduce Migration Risk
Migration work is strongest when source data is understood, fields are mapped, imports are repeatable and validation happens before teams rely on the new system.
Metadata
Field Mapping
Map existing metadata into iBase fields so useful legacy context is retained and made searchable.
Structure
Folder and Collection Planning
Move content into structures that support future browsing, permissions and maintenance rather than simply copying old disorder.
Repeatable
Scheduled and Repeatable Imports
Use import processes that can be repeated for staged migrations or regular feeds from other systems.
Validation
Duplicate and Quality Checks
Identify duplicates, inconsistent values and weak records so issues can be resolved before launch or later migration phases.
Migration planning
Move with Less Guesswork
Extraction, mapping, cleansing and repeatable imports help make migration accurate, explainable and easier to manage.
Understand the Source
Audit files, fields, formats and current folder structures before migration rules are finalised.
Map and Clean the Data
Translate legacy metadata into usable iBase fields and improve inconsistent values where possible.
Validate Before Launch
Review imported records, duplicates and search behaviour before teams rely on the migrated repository.
