• Design the transition process to move Content Manager workloads, including security roles and metadata, into the new data center.
• Test large document ingestion, classification, and user retrieval functions in the new location to confirm consistent operation.
• Validate event-driven messaging flows with brokers to ensure correct document triggers and workflow routing.
• Coordinate a phased production transition to the new site, managing user cutover and workload balancing.
• Document the configurations and migration outcomes for ongoing audit and risk assessments.

• Integration Broker (IIB) for 200+ Applications

• Develop an updated Integration Broker architecture that supports message flow consolidation during the data center migration.
• Create new configurations and execution groups to accommodate applications by moving to the new data center.
• Design message schemas, endpoints, and routing to enable secure cross-site data exchange before, during, and after relocation.
• Test critical business message flows under simulated loads to verify data integrity and transaction reliability.
• Validate compatibility between modernized broker infrastructure and existing legacy applications transitioning to the new site.
• Coordinate the movement of message traffic to new brokers at the new data center, including failover testing.
• Document all integration updates for tracking and compliance.

• AHRA Broker Integration

• Develop a dedicated broker infrastructure tailored for AHRA’s specialized messaging needs, prepared for the data center.
• Create resilient and secure message flows that can be moved with confidence to the new site while preserving data protection.
• Design updated routing and approval processes to handle secure, multi-stage transactions.
• Test long-running message flows and exception handling to confirm system continuity across environments.
• Validate queue bindings and broker configurations to ensure consistent behavior in the new data center.
• Coordinate stakeholder engagement to plan, communicate, and execute cutover.
• Document all integration steps and configuration changes to support ongoing compliance and risk controls.

• IBM InfoSphere DataStage ETL on AIX 7.3

• Develop an updated ETL environment to support migration of data pipelines to the new data center.
• Create configurations for DataStage jobs that will read and write across modernized infrastructure with minimal downtime.
• Design migration processes for ETL workflows and job schedules to run seamlessly in the new facility.
• Test data movement accuracy, performance, and transformation logic.
• Validate connectivity between ETL jobs and databases relocated to the new data center.
• Coordinate cutover of ETL jobs in line with production readiness and business schedules.
• Document all job migrations, schedules, and tuning efforts for oversight.

• IBM DB2 11.5 for ECM Backend

• Develop the database environment needed to support ECM workloads in the new data center.
• Create optimized database schemas, roles, and storage layouts compatible with data center architecture.
• Design a data migration strategy that ensures secure, accurate movement of DB2 data to the new site.
• Test high-volume transaction loads and data consistency.
• Validate database services for FileNet, CM, and DataStage to confirm correct operation in the target environment.
• Coordinate cutover plans for applications dependent on DB2 during the migration window.
• Document the database migration process and any resulting configuration changes.

• WebSphere ND Middleware Backbone

• Develop a clustered WebSphere ND environment ready for data center consolidation, supporting all integrated ECM applications.
• Create secure middleware configurations, including certificates and service integrations, that can be relocated to the new site.
• Design a plan to migrate workloads and clustered resources with minimal impact to business operations.
• Test application deployments, security contexts, and load balancing features after the move.
• Validate all service integration buses and shared resources in the new environment.
• Coordinate phased application transitions to maintain user experience and transaction continuity.
• Document the migration architecture, security updates, and performance baselines.
