See what institutions replacing ImageNow with Etrieve need to know about migration, integrations, and what comes next.

ImageNow was a reasonable solution for its time. That time has passed. Institutions still running ImageNow (later rebranded to Perceptive Content) are dealing with a platform that hasn't kept pace with cloud infrastructure, modern SIS integrations, or accessibility requirements.

Not to mention a support experience that reflects those same limitations.

Migration conversations used to feel daunting. They're more straightforward now, particularly for institutions moving to a cloud-native platform like Etrieve with established connectors for Banner, Colleague, Workday, and others.

The question isn't if to migrate out of ImageNow — it's when and how to do it with minimal disruption to the departments that depend on the system every day.
