The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has made its new draft Recommended Practice for Content Platform Migrations available for public comment. The result of nearly two years of collaboration between the librarians, publishers, and content platform providers on the Content Platform Migrations Working Group, this Recommended Practice provides a standard process and recommendations to improve communication between all parties involved before, during, and after migration.
Well-planned platform migrations, including good communications with customers, ensure that the content is delivered on the new platform with no broken links, no loss of functionality, no interruption in access, and no loss of customer information. Streamlining the process will result in a smoother overall transition for everyone’s benefit.
Everyone involved in, or with an interest in, improving content platform migrations are invited to share their feedback on the Content Platform Migrations Working Group Recommended Practice, which can be found at http://www.niso.org/standards-committees/content-platform-migrations. It is open for comment through April 23, 2021.
