Was just speaking to Siteport last week. This is what they said... "Currently, Siteport’s target connectors include Sitecore, EPiServer, and OpenText(RedDot) - with Adobe CQ and Drupal on the roadmap to be added soon."
So you might get lucky with your 1-2 year timeframe. While migration tools can be useful for extracting a volume of content, you will end up with a non-best-practice Drupal project as a result. You need to evaluate the capabilities of the new CMS and rebuild your site accordingly. There is no push-button solution. I have no personal experience with Drupal, but I'm sure its strengths and weaknesses are quite different to RD.

Ahh, siteport.net. Personally, I think they are cashing on the catch phrase of "linking into existing CMS". It is not needed. 1. One can make a new project variant, and have CMS publish the existing content out in XML format. Then use any existing FREE drupal migration tools to import the XMLs. 2. Why even go into CMS? You have the published HTML files, use an HTML to XML converter, then use any existing FREE drupal migration tools to import the XMLs. -Jian On Tuesday, April 8, 2014 12:18:02 PM UTC-4, Joel Kinzel wrote: Check out site siteport.net, I got a random e-mail from them not too long ago. It looks like their tool is able to migrate OT to a variety of different CMS systems.

Has anyone worked with a RedDot 10 to Drupal migration and have any resources or advice to get started? I don't want to be blindsided if at all possible. It might be we can be doing stuff now that will improve our changes of success later...
