Archive Old Jive Content

Have you decided to move to Microsoft 365 and want to reduce cost of Jive licensing?

Great! But unsure about which content to move and which to left behind?

When migrating to Microsoft 365 from Jive, Netwoven came up with a solution to archive your old content in a network file share or a low-cost storage solution while migrate the active content.
This is an important function because moving data to the archive will help you to re-organize your Information Architecture in Microsoft 365.

Archive Old Jive Content

Jive content types can be archived are

  • Files (Binary documents) + their description
  • Documents (Collaborative Documents)
  • Blogs+ their comments
  • Discussions+ their replies

What does Archive means?

Archive solution will create a pdf or word document for each object with the entire content of the above jive content types. For a Jive place all blogs or documents will first convert into word or pdf and then will create a zip with all the files. This archival solution not only helps to maintain the Information Architecture clean but also anytime you can access the old content for reference or for any legal queries.

Like for discussions, Archive solution will create a pdf with root post + all the replies and with other metadata’s like author, tags, categories…
