A Guide to Successful Content Migration

03-Sep-2010 By Apoorv Durga with Alan Pelz-Sharpe

The key to addressing migration successfully is to pursue it as a formal project with a specific methodology, and to understand the trade-offs among various potential approaches. Those who have gone before you have left a trail of headaches -- but also some very specific and practical advice.
