Of the migrations I have been asked to consult on, all have ended up being
very company specific. There has been common ground, such as what to do with
office documents and what to browse the web with, but the bulk of the work
has been looking in detail at a specific companies existing IT requirements
and how best to duplicate/replace those environments with open source
alternatives.

My best advice would be to contact a few local companies and see if any
would like a free migration report. You can then study a real company and
provide a very specific detailed report. IMO this will be of much greater
value both to you and the company involved than just providing a hit list of
common pros and cons.

The other suggestion I would make is that you try to stay genuinely
impartial to the final results. Its no good for anyone if you over zealously
promote open source when in reality it is not going to be suitable.
