EV on Centera / ECS CAS
Reciprocal delivers a unified information governance platform where migration is just one feature not the value.
Your legacy archive is not a migration problem. It’s the start of a modern governance model.
Most organisations treat Centera / ECS CAS exit or Enterprise Vault modernisation as a technical project. Move the data. Pick a platform. Close the brief.
The organisations getting this moment right are doing something very different.
They’re using it to unify governance, compliance, and AI oversight across their entire information estate not just the archive in front of them.
The Problem
Your information estate was built for a world that no longer exists.
Enterprise Vault and Centera / ECS CAS were designed for an era before AI, before today’s regulatory expectations, and before the scale and complexity of modern information estates.
Today
- AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT are reading corporate data, surfacing archive content, and generating outputs often with zero visibility into what was accessed or whether any policy applied.
- Regulators now expect evidence, not policy documents. Retention, defensible deletion, and chain of custody must be provable end to end.
- Centera / ECS CAS is end of life, and EV estates are ageing, fragmented, and increasingly difficult to govern at scale.
A simple A→B migration won’t fix any of this. It moves the data and the governance gaps to a new platform. You’ve changed the storage. You haven’t changed the outcome.
The Opportunity
EV has evolved. Your governance model can too.
EV clients now have deep discovery, rich metadata, and content level visibility across their archive for the first time.
But visibility is only step one.
The real opportunity is to use this moment to:
-
- Build a unified retention model across every system
- Apply consistent policy enforcement across the entire estate
- Integrate compliance and auditability into operations
- Establish AI oversight that shows exactly what your AI tools are accessing and generating
- Replace multiple tools, vendors, and cost centres with one operating model
This is the shift from “modernise EV” to modernise how you govern everything.
The Solution
Complete Visibility
A full, evidence-based analysis of your information estate across every archive, system, and data source before a single byte moves.
Unified Governance
One retention model. One policy engine. One compliance framework. Applied consistently across everything you own.
AI Oversight Built In
Full visibility into what Copilot, ChatGPT, and internal LLMs are accessing, generating, and exposing, across all systems, not just EV.
Governed Migration
Safe, auditable, vendor agnostic migration where needed, aligned to your governance model rather than dictated by tools.
Operational Simplification
Multiple tools, teams, and cost centres replaced with one platform and one operating model.
Why Reciprocal?
Reciprocal is not a migration vendor. We are the control plane for your information estate.
Our methodology begins with a complete “as-is” analysis the clarity most organisations have never had and builds from there into a governed, AI-aware operating model that your board can stand behind.
EV remains the archive.
Reciprocal becomes the governance layer EV never had.
Migration is the on‑ramp.
Governance is the destination.
