The fastest and most secure way to migrate from ImageVault

1. The first step is, of course, to evaluate which system you want to switch to! Different systems are good at different things, and something important to consider is how your teams are structured and want to work: Does the organization have a centralized team that creates assets and many marketers and editors who use them, or do web editors have more responsibility for selecting and processing resources?
2. Select the data you want to transfer. Are resources currently tagged and structured in a purposeful way, or do you want to create a new taxonomy or structure during the migration? For example, are there alt texts, or do you want to use AI to create alt texts or other metadata? Are there images, documents, and videos that are no longer used and should be removed?
3. How will the work methods of editors and marketers change? ImageVault offers functionality that gives editors great freedom but also responsibility for processing (e.g., cropping) images. Many other DAM systems have workflows that look a bit different— is this something you want to adopt?

Epinova's DAM Migration Tool is unique in the market because it automatically transfers data between DAM systems while preserving metadata and folder structures, and is scalable to hundreds of thousands of images or other assets.

 Switching DAM systems is not just about transferring data, so we also offer ready-made integrations between Optimizely CMS and the leading DAM systems. This ensures that images are displayed responsively and automatically cropped to optimize them for different devices such as mobile, desktop, or tablets.

Epinova's DAM Migration Tool works with most DAM systems available on the market. However, most customers choose Optimizely CMP—where you can select only the DAM functionality—or QBank, which handles even the most complex organizations and needs. We have created a guide that compares the most common options. We are, of course, happy to help if your organization wants to evaluate several options: book a meeting and we'll get started!

Many organizations find that it takes a long time to switch DAM systems, especially if it contains many resources and there are many editors using the system. With the help of Epinova's DAM Migration Tool, we can significantly reduce that time. Most customers can make a switch in a month or less. After this, training for editors and marketers is necessary, which is important not to overlook. We have packaged training for this.
