If you are interested to migrate contents into your Alfresco repository and you have to get contents from different data sources, you may be interested to see my session held with my friend Luis Cabaceira during the last Alfresco DevCon 2018 in Lisbon.
The title of our session is Smart Content Migration using Apache ManifoldCF and we have described two different scenarios based on a pretty new capability that we are adding: content migration!
This will make easier content migration needs for any ECM architect or developer involved in migration for federating different silos / repositories into an Alfresco platform. We have implemented these two new connectors:
- CMIS Output Connector (presented by me)
- Alfresco BFSI Output Connector (presented by Luis)
CMIS Output Connector allows to migrate contents from any repositories supported by ManifoldCF: from SharePoint, Documentum to FileNet and so on to any CMIS-compliant repo such as Alfresco 
Alfresco BFSI Output Connector allows to get contents from any repo and it will create the standard structure on file system to allow Alfresco importing contents using the BFSI tool. This is absolutely amazing in terms of performance!
Try by yourself the new connectors for Content Migration (beta)
Please consider that all the material shown during the session is related to a development sprint that we have to complete and you will not find yet this new features inside the stable release of ManifoldCF.
Anyway you can try these new connectors building from the related branch:
