Migrate is a cloud service that enables subject matter experts to automate the conversion of their content to DITA and custom XML.  It provides greater control over conversion quality, immediate turnaround times and operates on a low-cost, pay-as-you-use basis.

We have helped our customers convert more than a million pages of legacy content to DITA XML. Migrate can be used to convert a single document, with Stilo operating the service, or by global documentation teams that need to convert tens of thousands of pages of legacy content, on-demand, according to their own project deadlines.

Self-serve

For customers with large volumes of legacy content to convert, we provide them with their own branded Migrate portal on a self-serve basis. We provide an initial sample conversion of up to 20 pages free of charge for testing and evaluation purposes. We would then configure and set-up the portal, provide documentation, user training and on-going support from our conversion services team.

Stilo-operated

Typically for customers with less than 1000 pages of content to convert, we offer the Stilo-operated service.  We provide an initial sample conversion of up to 20 pages free of charge for testing and evaluation purposes.  Our conversion services team would then work with you to agree configuration and tailoring requirements.  Converted document/s would be provided for QA and any requested refinements applied.

Converting content in the cloud

With Migrate, documents can be uploaded in a variety of source formats, includingXML/SGML/HTML, FrameMaker, Word, InDesign, RoboHelp and DocBook, where they are analysed, key attributes annotated, and instantly converted using pre-configured conversion rules, to any target XML.

A sophisticated Rules Editor enables subject matter experts to easily adjust the conversion rules to handle processing exceptions and incrementally improve the quality of the XML generated.

Migrate is available 24/7 on a pay-as-you-use basis.  It provides an attractive alternative to traditional outsourcing services and in-house solutions, combining the best of both approaches — the provision of powerful technology that places subject matter experts in control, supported in the background by Stilo’s conversion experts.

For organizations where security is a particular concern, Migrate can be deployed onsite as a fully-integrated component of an enterprise publishing solution.
