Re: Content migration: options and strategies

James

A first class contribution and one that I am certainly going to recommend to
clients. 

One issue that is starting to emerge is the migration of content from a CMS
into a portal. You refer to it in your introductory paragraph but portals
present some rather complex issues. At the core of this is whether the
content is going to be served up in Java portlets or as HTML pages using an
"iFrames" approach. If Java windows are going to be used then because they
need to be able to be resized on demand and also because of the very limited
functionality of the CMS in most portals, there is a substantial challenge
for the organisation in not just migrating the content but in undertaking a
total review of how the content is going to be structured for delivery.
There are some search engine implications for this as well but that is for
another day.  

In theory JSR 170 and JSR 286 will assist in the inter-connection of portal
and CMS products but from my rather limited knowledge of how these will work
in practice  they are not going to make a major impact on content migration.


Another emerging issue is the upgrade of large SharePoint 2003 intranets to
SharePoint 2007. Well worth reading

then taking a deep breath

Hi all,

I've just published an article on the options for migrating content
when redesigning a website or intranet:

Would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts...

Cheers,
