Many efforts to rein in costs and improve services require data migration, which if not handled properly can create major headaches for users, managers and IT departments. Specifically, the problem comes from unintentionally breaking the associations (links) between primary files and the files they link to.

To put the scope of the problem into perspective, consider that it has been a common business practice for years to embed links (pointing to other files) in documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other application file types. And for just as long as this practice has existed, companies have had to deal with broken file links when files and folders were moved or renamed.

Companies that do not address this growing problem now will face frustrated users, lost productivity and lost confidence in business information that relies on data culled from embedded links. What companies need is a solution that helps them automatically identity embedded links, and retain the connection between the original file and the associated linked files and data.
