Has anyone here had to port over a system from the Absolute News Manager System by Xigla Software?

The company I work for is looking for an alternative to this template-based commercial system. In order for me to convince them that it's a good system, I need to show them that their news articles and posts can be ported over without much fuss or degredation in information integrity.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

On a related note, does anyone have or know a well-rounded ad management module for drupal?

Thanks guys,

-Sean

Thanks for the info, I'll do some testing to see how well it works in comparison to what we have already.

On another note, I should clarify, I am attempting to compile *evidence* enough to make my bosses want to switch to Drupal not Xigla, Xilga's solution is outdated at best and the support is trivial and non-responsive.

If anyone has ANY idea as to how port over the information from a database previously used for Xigla's management software or even someone who has had experience porting over a SQL 2000 database to MySQL. To go even further, if you have worked with SQL 2000 and know how to implement Drupal with that, that would be great too.

Thanks a bunch everyone.
