You've got an existing CMS 2001 site, or perhaps you're still running an earlier version of NCompass Resolution. How do you manage the upgrade to CMS 2002?

You certainly don't just install the new software on top of the old and hope for the best. You need to start planning.  Did you know that:

• With CMS 2002, ALL content authoring and management is done through the browser (no, you can't use the Site Manager for this any more), and that this is a really good thing?
• The physical architecture of templates - how they're stored and managed -has been completely changed?
• CMS 2002 comes with SIX DIFFERENT TYPES of placeholder (CMS 2001 has only one)?  And that you can extend this model to include your own types?
• CMS 2002 can use any language in the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) for all template functionality?  Which language will you use?
• All template design work in CMS 2002 is done via Microsoft Visual Studio .NET?
• There is a new user role called "Channel Manager"?
• CMS 2002 possesses unparalleled capabilities for integration with other systems - through the use of XML Web Services?
• The migration process in CMS 2002 converts your site to the new architecuture in ASP Mode? And that to move to ASP.NET you must plan and perform this transformation yourself?
• "Navigation templates" no longer exist, and are replaced by "Channel Rendering Scripts"?

...And there is much more to CMS 2002 that will have an impact on your implementation.

We're not trying to intimidate you!  In our view, all of these issues represent underlying benefits, and huge opportunities to evolve the capabilities of your site to new levels.  But there is no question that you need to plan this migration carefully.  And you need to incorporate a strong foundation of experience in best practices with CMS.
