He will review some of the issues he encountered and what lessons they have learnt from the process. Dave Bartlett spent a number of weeks in the IBM Santa Teresa Development Laboratory in late 2003 as one of the authors of the IBM Redbook 'Content Manager Implementation and Migration Cookbook (SG24-7051)'. Since then he has gained a wealth of experience in migrating customer systems to CM V8. Dave will review the contents of the Redbook together with other aspects of migrating customer systems that he has learnt since the Redbook was written. |
