I think it’s time to try and get a handle on how people are migrating content from 2003 to 2007 to 2010. There are some really good tools out there for doing that, but at an enterprise level, how are you going to choose which is most appropriate for your situation?

Here are six migration tools I know of because of their support and visibility within the SharePoint Community:

• Metalogix Site Migration Manager 2010
• MetaVis Migrator
• Quest Migration Manager
• Idera SharePoint Migration Suite v2.1
• Axceler Davinci Migrator for SharePoint 2010
• AvePoint Migration Tools

I’m not an expert in migration. If fact, I know very little about the process or the tools, so here’s what I’d like to do. I’m willing to put together a “Head-to-Head” demo session, giving each of the migration tool companies 15 minutes of fame.

The Vendor Challenge: Have you got what it takes? Then show us!

Next Wednesday, November 17th at 1:00pm EST, we’ll crank up live meeting and give each vendor 15 minutes to give it their best shot. Pull out all the stops… show us what your tools can do. Pull out the superlatives, show the real stuff. You’ve got 15 minutes… ready, set, go!

With 6 vendors, that’s about an hour and a half, giving us a real good handle on what’s in the marketplace and what differentiates the various solutions. Are you up for the challenge? This should be fun.

Looking for comments to confirm the participant as well as audience interest. Spread the word and “LET’S GET READY TO RUMBBBLLLLLE!”
