Websites become harder to maintain as they age. Many organizations seek to address problems by migrating their sites to a modern CMS. But standing in their way are uncertainties about the migration process, such as: • How can we best plan the migration? • Will we be able to transfer all our data, including users, tags, and metadata? • Do the reasons for migrating justify the costs?

This paper examines scenarios for migrating from other content-management systems (CMSes) such as Vignette, Jive, FatWire, ColdFusion, and Joomla. It evaluates reasons for migration, describes migration methods and tools, and suggests best practices.
