The last phase is now well under way with the five smaller sites already extracted and on their way into RedDot (actually we kicked it off on Friday night as it can take a while). These should be released for UAT over the next few days and the main Salford site gets under way later this week. This phase should be relatively straight forward as the development runs will have shown up any issues but still nice to see it all running smoothly so far. However, we've been on enough projects over the years to stop us getting complacent.

On Monday we kick off the final phase of the migration of six sites from Obtree to RedDot for Salford City Council. We have had to wait for the users to get trained (no point in going live with a new system before the users can use it) but are all set. Should be completed within a couple of weeks and I'll be updating as we go (periodically). Watch this space.

CMSWire have published an interesting article on the future of their WCM offerings, RedDot and Vignette of course not Obtree or Gauss.I'm not going to comment on this, there are plenty of comments on the CMSWire page except to say that anyone who is thinking of migrating from Obtree to Vignette should get in touch, we can do that too.
