Company Overview

Knoll Inc. was founded in 1938 by Hans Knoll in New York City. Hans created this American design firm that produced office systems including seating, storage, tables, desks, and textiles through the company’s KnollTextiles division. Knoll also produced accessories for the office, home, and even higher education settings. With the company growing rapidly, production facilities were moved to Pennsylvania in 1950. In 1955, Hans Knoll passed away and his wife, Florence Knoll took over his legacy as the head of the company. 

Knoll Inc. is the licensed manufacturer of furniture for the home by many architects and designers. Some of them include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, David Adjaye, Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll (Florence Schust), Frank Gehry, Charles Gwathmey, Maya Lin, Lella and Massimo Vignelli, Ini Archibong, and Eero Saarinen under its KnollStudio division. 

In 2011, Knoll received the National Design Award for Corporate and Institutional Achievement from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. In 2021, Knoll was acquired by Herman Miller and in the 3rd quarter of 2021.

The Partnership

TEAM IM and Knoll have an established relationship, and worked on portions of the legacy WebCenter Content (WCC) implementation, including general WCC requirements and the dealer portal integration enhancement.  This allowed TEAM IM to use their previous knowledge of the environment to come up to speed faster on the tasks needed to upgrade to 12c.

 

Preventing risks by migrating to WebCenter Content

problem

The problem to be solved

  • Upgrading Knoll’s WebCenter Content installation from 11g to 12c. 
  • Migrating all of Knoll’s existing content in WCC 11g to the new 12c platform.
  • Providing assistance while upgrading the integration between WebCenter Content and WebCenter Sites.

Why solving the problem was important

Knoll was nearing the end of the Oracle Support lifecycle for WebCenter Content 11g installations, and in need of an upgrade. Since Oracle Support could not be engaged on 11g issues after Dec 31, 2021, updating to 12c would allow continued support in the future.

The Method

  • TEAM IM installed new instances of WebCenter Content 12c on three tiers: DEV, UAT, and Production.
  • WebCenter Content 12c software was installed in each environment with the latest versions and then all published Oracle patches were detailed and applied. 
  • All configurations from the 11g tiers were migrated to matching 12c installations.
  • One hundred percent of 11g content was migrated to the matching 12c tier.
  • 2.5 million content items, over 550 GB.
