Third Party Migration Tools

[netcashin]

A decision has been made to purchase a third party tool to migrate a sites from 2003 to 2007 that could also help with any other sharepoint migration tasks.

Any recommendations or thoughts on third party tools out there?

Thanks

It is hard to go wrong with any of these 3 in my opinion. I was impressed greatly by the Cashel solution at the SharePoint conference

Also consider looking at Enterprise Enabler from Stone Bond Technologies. Enterprise Enabler supports a combination of Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) technologies, with an integration engine that extends the reach of the SharePoint installation far beyond the default capabilities of the BDC. This eliminates the need for a staging database and virtually eliminates any custom code. Enterprise Enabler’s federated query capability allows SharePoint to search, index, and report from a variety of sources and define relationships across system boundaries, bi-directionally.

Enterprise Enabler (EE) is designed so that with little or no programming, interfaces and workflows can be built to move data securely from any sources to any destinations with very easy mapping of complex data transformation. EE can be implemented with any combination of real-time data flows, on-demand, or triggered based on any event. EE manages and monitors the data flow and workflow logic.

Please contact me for more information.
