What are the key issues?
If you use a Content Management System (CMS) to manage web or document based content you will already know that one of the key issues faced is how to move existing content into the new system.

On paper it looks relatively easy. A team of people could spend the next six months copying files and web pages from their existing location into the CMS. This is not such a simple proposition - content migrations tend to involve hundreds of minor changes to very large volumes of content. |
- How many files can one person move in one day? Some customers quote from two pages to 200 documents per day - 1000 pages might take anywhere between 50 to 500 days to move.
- What happens during this move? Do you place a content freeze across the entire site for the duration of the project?
- What about moving attached documents and handling internal and external links?
Migrating a web site is like unravelling a ball of rubber bands. You really need a tried and tested method to perform the task properly.
