The ideal candidate possesses deep hands-on expertise in OnBase architecture, data structures, and APIs, alongside practical experience executing data and document migration strategies to cloud-based or modern ECM platforms.

Project Overview

Our organization is undertaking a strategic digital transformation initiative to decommission our legacy OnBase environment. The project involves analyzing existing OnBase workflows, document types, keywords, and storage volumes, and architecting seamless migration pipelines to:

• OpenText / SharePoint: Core repository management, document taxonomy, and metadata mapping.
• Camunda: Process orchestration, business rule transition, and automated workflow replacement.

Key ResponsibilitiesMigration Architecture & Analysis

• Conduct comprehensive discovery on the legacy OnBase environment, analyzing existing Document Types, Keywords, WorkView applications, AutoFoldering, and Workflow configurations.
• Collaborate with enterprise architects and business stakeholders to map OnBase metadata, security models, and document structures to OpenText, SharePoint, and Camunda formats.
• Design and execute end-to-end extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) routines to migrate high-volume document stores and historical data with zero data loss.

Hands-On OnBase Development & Extraction

• Develop custom scripts, C# API routines, or OnBase Unity API extensions to extract documents, annotations, audit logs, and metadata out of the OnBase disk groups and databases.
• Identify and resolve complex data discrepancies, orphaned records, or corrupted files prior to and during the migration process.
• Configure data transformation pipelines to format extracted content for ingestion into OpenText repositories and SharePoint document libraries.

Process Mapping & Decommissioning

• Deconstruct complex OnBase Workflows and WorkView applications, translating business logic into Camunda BPMN models and process flows.

• OnBase Expertise: 5+ years of hands-on experience developing, configuring, and maintaining Hyland OnBase platforms (Unity API, C# Scripting, OnBase Database Schema, WorkView, Workflow, Keyword Types).
• Migration Experience: Proven track record executing at least one large-scale migration project moving off OnBase to a modern ECM platform.
• Database & Scripting Skills: Advanced proficiency in SQL Server / Oracle, T-SQL writing complex queries, data extraction scripts, and ETL procedures.
• API Development: Strong C# / .NET development skills, particularly using Unity API or REST APIs for OnBase content extraction.
• Target Platform Awareness: Solid understanding of document management practices in Microsoft SharePoint, OpenText Content Suite/xECM, and/or Camunda process automation frameworks.
