That's exactly what I did as well. They were using IMAP, so that part was set up. I just added the Exchange account and dragged everything from their pst into the Exchange mailbox. Even the larger accounts (1000's of messages) only took a few minutes. I know it's not automated and behind the scenes and whatnot, but hey it's definitely under $2000!

Once that was set I added an IMAP account to the Imail server within Outlook. I then just did a drag and drop from the IMAP boxes to the Exchange boxes for the clients. Not elegant, and probably only worked cuz this is a K-12 public school environment and I have access to all things in the network.
