Blumont
Cadence Solutions partnered with Blumont to rapidly and securely migrate 2.5 TB of critical data to their Azure environment using Peregrine Migrate —achieving zero data loss, full structure preservation, and significant cost savings, all within a two-week turnaround.
Client Overview
Blumont is a nonprofit organization that works with communities in transition as they recover from conflict, return from displacement, and build toward long-term resilience. Through humanitarian assistance, infrastructure development, and economic empowerment, Blumont is dedicated to helping communities move from aid reliance to independence. As part of a strategic shift, Blumont sought to take greater ownership of its digital infrastructure and reduce costs associated with legacy platforms.
The Challenge
Blumont’s content was hosted within OpenText Content Server, deployed in Azure under a managed environment. Following a change in direction from Blumont’s leadership team, there was an urgent need to securely migrate their digital records to their own Azure tenant and wind down external services.
The primary goals of this client project were:
-
Cost Reduction – eliminate reliance on externally hosted OpenText infrastructure
-
Data Preservation – migrate 2.5 TB of critical data (~1.2 million folders and documents) with full folder structure retention
-
Fast Turnaround – complete the project within a tight, one-month timeline
-
Zero Data Loss – ensure integrity and security of all content during and after migration
The Solution
Blumont partnered with Cadence Solutions, leveraging our deep expertise in content migration and proprietary tool, Peregrine Migrate, built specifically for high-volume enterprise moves.
This tailored client solution included the following key components:
-
End-to-End Migration Execution – Cadence managed the entire lift-and-shift process, from initial scoping to final delivery, ensuring transparency and efficiency throughout.
-
Peregrine Migrate – Our in-house developed tool enabled rapid, reliable extraction from OpenText Content Server, preserving folder hierarchies and metadata with high fidelity.
-
Lift-and-Shift Approach – By avoiding unnecessary transformations, we focused on speed, accuracy, and minimizing any risk of data loss.
The People Component
Cadence Solutions worked closely with Blumont’s IT stakeholders and records management leads to align on scope, monitor progress, and adapt to emerging priorities. Despite a sudden shift in organizational direction, Blumont’s team remained collaborative, and the trust built during the engagement ensured a smooth conclusion to the migration.
"We needed to move quickly, with precision and full confidence in the results. Cadence delivered on every front — their team was responsive, professional, and Peregrine Migrate handled our content with incredible efficiency. It gave us exactly what we needed in record time."
