<TITLE>convert Vignette sites to OpenCMS</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We have a bunch of sites running on Vignette, and all of them have a very complex, unique content management system. Each has its own unique datamodel and content management application, as well as content display application.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We are considering moving away from Vignette and to an open source CMS that supports JSP/Java.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Does anyone have any experience porting over complex sites to OpenCMS? It is absolutely necessary that we keep the current datamodels of the sites, as well as all the functionality of the sites' content management applications.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Does anyone out there have experience with this? Is this even possible? Or will I have to adopt the OpenCMS methodology/model of doing content management?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
