Content Mover helps you to move content such as Teams and Channels from M365 to a DMS and automatically sync any changes between M365 and DMS.
Litera Prosperoware CAM Azure Stack utilizes Microsoft Azure services and resources to provide the ability to sync content between multiple Document Management Systems (DMS). On the Azure Stack, CAM Content Mover uses Azure storage blobs as an intermediary when copying content between the supported DMSs.
Note: For information on the Azure Stack Deployment or AWS Stack Deployment configurations, see the relevant links.
CAM Azure Stack requires the deployment of an Azure template into your Azure environment. The template deploys a complete solution that contains multiple resources such as function apps, MySQL instances, BLOB Storages, and others. These resources are provided and hosted by Microsoft Azure in your Azure account to provide you with more control over the Content Mover process.
Major features include:
Moving channels, tabs, and teams from the Teams application to the DMS system from the Matters tab.
Copying channels, tabs, and teams from the Teams application to the DMS system from the Matters tab.
Setting up content mover jobs between systems to occur on a schedule.
Allowing CSV Upload of Jobs to move channels, tabs, or teams from the Teams application to the DMS.
Tip: The file size should be 450MB or less from M365 to NetDocuments in Azure and AWS to sync the contents.
