This week I am doing back to back demos of our Livelink WCM to RedDot migration software. (Although I don't think it's called RedDot any longer, see their site). The requests are in response to the newsletter we sent out giving our take on the current market situation. We are being contacted on a daily basis now with requests for information about the options open to the Livelink WCM (Obtree) user base. We would love to see the conversations and opinions being exchanged online at TalkObtree so, please get involved and share your views.
If you are interested in receiving a demo call +44 (0)141 303 8239.
Book your MIM:SWITCH DEMO and we'll enter you into our prize draw to win FREE Livelink WCM PS (Obtree) website audit/analysis report.

It's not even the end of the first week back after the holidays and already I've had conversations with three of our Livelink WCM clients about moving off the platform. Two are likely to migrate from Livelink WCM to RedDot the third is undecided what WCM would be a good replacement for Livelink WCM for them. I predicted an increase in this activity but I thought it would be a while before things picked up again. Maybe the credit crunch is encouraging Livelink WCM users to look at their position before the budgets disappear altogether. Maybe the prospect of a like for like upgrade to RedDot without charge is appealing. Or maybe it's just New Year enthusiasm to get things done. Whatever the reason if this keeps up it will be a very busy year.
If you are a Livelink WCM user and want to know about your options check out our recent newsletter. If you'd prefer give me a call, I'd be happy to talk through the options.
We will be running regular WebEx demos of our mim:switch Livelink WCM migration tool so if you'd like to see it in action get in touch.We have loaders into a number of WCM platforms already complete and more on the way so if you have chosen a new WCM and don't see it mentioned let us know.

Whilst giving our latest newsletter its final edit yesterday morning prior to publication the most contentious issue causing the most debate was my spelling of swop rather than swap. Both spellings are okay to use with swap leaning more towards American English. John and Simon agreed that swap was the most common and therefore correct spelling whereas I favoured swop. Mimtech is a democratic company and a 2/1 majority between the Directors rules, however in this case the master copy of the newsletter was 'locked' on my pc and I had the publish button so for any readers out there I take full responsibility for the use of swop. Please address any complaints accordingly!
