Laserfiche Cloud Migration Readiness Assessment Tool
The Laserfiche Cloud Migration Readiness Assessment Tool analyzes self-hosted Workflow and Forms resources to produce a comprehensive Assessment Report for use in planning and scoping migration projects to Laserfiche Cloud. During migration projects, the tool saves time and effort by replacing manual Workflow or Forms auditing.
This tool can also be used independent of migration projects to evaluate self-hosted Workflow and Forms usage, which is included in the Assessment Report. The tool uses read-only access and does not modify self-hosted resources in any way. This tool also supports automatic updates to ensure that reports reflect the latest state of self-hosted and Cloud resources.
