The document summarizes a company's migration from two proprietary CMS systems to a single Umbraco CMS installation. Key aspects included importing over 10,000 pages of content and internal links, simplifying markup, revamping the image library, and setting up 301 redirects to maintain SEO. Technical challenges included creating and maintaining 10,000 destination pages and dealing with broken packages during the migration. The agile approach and customer involvement helped ensure a successful project. Choosing a CMS and experienced system integrator are important factors for a smooth migration.

• Open Source is not per se all it is cracked up to be
• An occasion for spring cleaning
• The agile approach served us well
• Customer involvement is key to a successful project/result
• Content & SEO migration should be a success criteria in its own right
• Look for system integrators with experiences in similar setups
• Process is everything - technology should just be there
