Content Migration
Content Migration & Transformation
Structured migration of legacy content into modern formats — Word, FrameMaker, HTML, and Markdown to DITA XML and other structured formats, with full validation and quality assurance.
Move your content forward without losing what matters
Legacy content in Word, FrameMaker, or unstructured HTML represents years of institutional knowledge. We help you migrate that content into structured formats that are maintainable, reusable, and ready for modern publishing workflows — without losing accuracy or context.
Business problems we solve
Legacy content locked in Word or FrameMaker that cannot be efficiently maintained or reused
Inconsistent structure and formatting making content difficult to manage at scale
No clear migration path from unstructured to structured content
Risk of losing content accuracy or context during format conversion
Large content volumes making manual migration impractical
Validation and quality assurance gaps in existing migration attempts
Service offerings
Word to DITA XML Migration
Analysis, mapping, and conversion of Microsoft Word documents to structured DITA XML topics and maps, with style mapping, content cleanup, and validation.
FrameMaker to DITA XML Migration
Migration of Adobe FrameMaker books and documents to DITA XML, including structured FrameMaker conversion, EDD analysis, and topic restructuring.

Validation & Quality Assurance
Post-migration validation against DITA DTDs and schemas, content completeness checks, link validation, and structured QA processes to ensure migration accuracy.
Delivery methodology
01
Content Audit
Inventory and analysis of existing content — volume, structure, quality, and migration complexity assessment.
02
Mapping & Planning
Source-to-target content mapping, conversion rules, toolchain selection, and phased migration plan.
03
Pilot Migration
Small-scale pilot conversion to validate mapping rules, identify edge cases, and refine the approach before full migration.
04
Full Migration
Phased migration of the full content set using automated and manual processes, with progress tracking and issue resolution.
05
Validation & QA
Systematic validation of migrated content against schema, completeness criteria, and business requirements.
06
Handover
Delivery of migrated content, migration documentation, and knowledge transfer to your team.
