From a recordkeeping and archives perspective, there are a number of scenarios that might involve migration.
| Migration scenarios |
|---|
| Decommissioning a legacy business system where only some of the records are required for permanent retention as State archives under an existing disposal authorisation schedule |
| Decommissioning a legacy business system where all of the information is required for permanent retention as State archives under an existing disposal authorisation schedule |
| Decommissioning a legacy business system and a separate but related/linked document management system where all of the records in the legacy system are required for permanent retention as State archives and the records stored in the document management system are also required for permanent retention as State archives |
| Migrating unstructured information no longer required for business use in a network directory where these have been identified as State archives under an existing disposal authorisation schedule requiring them to be retained permanently as State archives |
| Migrating digital records relating to Royal Commissions or Commissions of Inquiry where these records may include metadata stored in relational databases or business systems and accompanying digital files where all metadata and related files are required to be retained as State archives |
| Migrating from a legacy business system to a new business system where only some of the records from the legacy business system are required in the new business system and the remaining records from the legacy business system are required for permanent retention as State archives |
| Migrating digital files no longer required for business use from an Electronic Document and Records Management System where these have been identified as required for permanent retention as State archives under an existing disposal authorisation schedule |
