Thanks for the comments. I’m not sure why this blog entry is still out there. I thought I migrated it all over to my current blog: http://www.sharepointpmp.com

Metalogix also has a powerful product for just this use case called SharePoint Migration Manager for eRoom. The install is easy, the product is simple to use and all eRoom container types are supported.

Full disclosure, I am a PM at Metalogix.

AvePoint has very good tools for SharePoint. They’re a premier MSFT partner and offer not only migration but other administrative items. Out of anyone, they do a great job in general with SharePoint related “stuff”.

What migration tool depends on what you need to migrate — if it’s mostly files and basic eRoom objects, Avepoint will work okay. I’ve also evaluated tsunami but most clients feel they’re too expensive and just not worth it. I’ve also used custom migration tool in the past which handled just about all eRooms items (except dashboards) that mapped well to SharePoint. There may be some heavily used erooms that might need some individual attention.

Lots of useful information. I’m in the process of preparing to migrate eRoom to MOSS and researching migration tools to use. I’ve found AvePoint and will be testing that. What other tools do you have for migration? What SharePoint admin tool do you use for your cross site collections?

V/r,

Comment on 4Cs of Collaboration… by maxaugust

I think your 4C’s are important considerations when “implementing collaboration technology”. I’d like to expand on your idas by offering my 5C’s.

My 5C’s put more of a focus on the “people factor”. Which, if not addressed, will put a kink in the best laid plans for technology implementation. My 5C’s are:

Connection: person-to-person being with other(s). implementer to user, developer to client, all team members “on the same page”. This is similar to your “Closeness”. “Closeness” is important. But to operationalize “Closeness” “Connecting” with enduser is necessary. The notion of “connection” is thoroughly explored in the book “Presence”, by Peter Senge, et al (www.presence.net).

Community: Is about “being” together for a common purpose. Connection leads to community.

Collaboration: Is about “doing” together for a common purpose.

Commitment: Is about “staying” together through the good times and the bad to “see it through” to the end that was envisioned.

Contribution: Is about team members (implementers and users) sharing their talents. And their differing talents being appreciated by the other team members.
