Migrating from one content management system to another is a major undertaking by any organisation, especially if they are content rich.

At Times Online, for example, the task was to move 1.6 million articles and more than double that in images from Vignette to Escenic.

These are some of the common questions/issues that such a move generated:

How do we map our existing content into the new structure?

What are the sort of tough decisions we may have to make regarding our content and archives?

How do we maintain our "links" and not lose our search engines listings and rankings?

How do we evangelise and retrain our journalists/producers in the new structure?

At LaunchPlusOne, we believe in taking the drama out of content migration by providing sensitive workflow models, a proven methodology and solutions to the many issues that are likely to arise.
