Direct Migration from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2010

Many organizations that are planning to implement the new SharePoint 2010 release are still running SharePoint 2003. Because there is no direct upgrade path from SharePoint 2003 to 2010, these organizations have to take a complex "two-hop" upgrade approach, moving existing infrastructure and content first to SharePoint 2007 and then to SharePoint 2010.

Quest Migration Manager for SharePoint enables organizations to avoid this interim transition to SharePoint 2007. It enables direct, granular migration of SharePoint 2003 content to SharePoint 2010, preserving settings, versions, metadata, and security permissions. This technical brief details how to use Quest Migration Manager for SharePoint to migrate SharePoint 2003 sites directly to a new SharePoint 2010 server.
