Scalable – had to support large volumes of dataReliable – had to be accessible to end users when they needed
itSecure – had to protect confidential information

ERS Challenge: Enhancing Agency Performance and Accountability Content Migration
Original State• Files and data were distributed across disparate systems• Files stored in disorganized directory trees• Many files were no longer needed• Files and data were difficult to locate or retrieve
Completed State – Files are now:• Organized• Searchable contents and metadata• Maintainable
![Page 10: Employee Benefits Today and Tomorrow](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110215/56816898550346895ddf26ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

metadata using barcodesDocuments are now able to be searched and retrieved using enterprise
wide search on full content and meta data
