Key takeaways from the webinar
| Theme | understanding |
|---|---|
| Restructuring without relocation | New structures can be built and simulated virtually – without physical data movement or business interruption. |
| Data Owner & Departments | Specialist departments are actively involved, can help shape structures and benefit from greater acceptance through the familiar Explorer environment. |
| Categories & Tags | Directories can be flexibly organized using categories and tags – multiple sorting without copying, individual access for different user groups. |
| Simulation & Voting | New target structures can be simulated, agreed upon and gradually introduced with all those involved during ongoing operations. |
| Data flood & archiving | Outdated or rarely used data can be easily outsourced or deleted – Data Retention directly from Explorer for less ballast. |
| Modernize permissions | Authorizations are managed transparently, securely, and traceably – including self-service and automatic documentation. |
| Economic efficiency & licensing | Flexible modules and usage-based licensing make the solution attractive and plannable for companies of all sizes. |
Why classic data organization is no longer sufficient
File servers have grown over the years. The result: deeply nested directory structures, unclear responsibilities, redundant data, and a lack of transparency. Those looking for a specific file often spend unnecessary time trawling through confusing folder hierarchies.
In addition, with each new project, each new application, and each new employee, not only the volume of data grows, but also the number of storage locations and access rights. Manual organization is virtually impossible in this environment – overview is lost, and risks increase.
At the same time, the demands on data management are increasing. Companies must not only operate efficiently, but also comply with data protection regulations such as the GDPR. In practice, however, this often fails because it is not even known where personal or critical data is located in the file system.
This is precisely where migRaven comes in with a completely new approach: Instead of laboriously reorganizing existing structures or moving data, migRaven creates an additional, logical level of organization – based on individual tags, user roles and access profilesThis new view of data not only enables more effective management, but also targeted control of access rights and retention obligations.
Direct integration into Windows Explorer
The migRaven.24/7 Desktop Client extends Windows File Explorer with a powerful interface for organizing data. Users gain direct access to two key functions: My folders and Folder Self Service.
More than Folder Self Service Users can create directories independently, assign them a defined lifespan, and grant the necessary permissions – without having to go through the IT department. This speeds up processes, increases data quality, and strengthens the autonomy of the departments.
With My folders Users only see the directories relevant to them – centrally consolidated in one location. Instead of searching through deeply nested file structures, all important folders are accessible with a single click. The ability to filter data specifically by tags, roles, or permissions is particularly helpful.
Create structure with freely definable tags
A key feature of the desktop client is the ability to tag directories. These freely definable tags create an additional layer of information on the file server without requiring the physical movement of files.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to define tags yourself, assign categories, and trigger automated processes for data classification and archiving. The tagging system is flexible and supports a wide range of use cases – from simple filtering to data protection-compliant storage to the implementation of retention periods.
Five common problems that migRaven solves
1. Confusing data sets
With the tagging function of the desktop client, you can bring order to complex and confusing data structures. Without physically moving data, you can introduce logical structures that are aligned with real work processes.
2. Slow data access
Through individually configurable filters and the function My folders Important directories become immediately visible – regardless of their location or directory depth.
3. Inefficient collaboration
The central provision of project-specific folders with defined access rights enables significantly improved teamwork. Access permissions are clearly documented and can be adjusted at any time as needed.
4. High administrative burden
With Folder Self Service, you reduce your dependence on the IT department. Business units can handle many tasks independently – from creating new folders to maintaining existing structures.
5. Lack of transparency and security risks
The structured display and the ability to filter by tags or roles improve your overview of sensitive data, making it easier to comply with legal requirements such as the GDPR.
