Tony, Could you do me a favor and not declare my entire market segment dead.
"You now have the keys to data integration heaven and you don't need to buy any more tools or migration services."
The fact is, I could move data from any system to any other system before XML, we all could. The question is always the 'time value of money' equation. If a tool makes things work more consistently, faster, and with less setup time.... I still see a value.

Without purchasing extra software, probably the easiest thing to do in a migration these days is to take advantage of free .NET features which allow seamless exchanges between XML and ADO.NET:
1) It's simple to write code to wrap data in XML. 2) You can use a program provided with the .NET Framework to generate a Schema from the XML into a .XSD file. 3) ADO.NET imports XSD files to create an internal map of a dataset. 4) With one line of code ADO.NET can read XML and store the data as a relational dataset.
Connecting the dots: It's easy to go from any MV platform into XML, then into ADO.NET, and from there to any Relational DBMS.
And now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I have to retire a poor man. You now have the keys to data integration heaven and you don't need to buy any more tools or migration services.
Seriously the way the technology is implemented depends on the application. If you ARE interested in data migrations From any platform To any platform, I'll be happy to help.
