Get the NewsletterHippo CMS Uses Kapow Migration Module to Move Customers Over
Seems Hippo (news, site) has found a way to migrate customers onto their open source CMS platform quickly. They have partnered with Kapow Technologies, enabling them to use the migration module of the Kapow Web Data Server.
Kapow Technologies has been in the news a bit lately, marketing the Migration Module of their Web Data Server. CMSWire profiled the module, noting the ability to configure and test migration robots as they are built as a strong capability.
Kapow and Hippo demonstrated their partnership at the Gilbane Conference yesterday. You can see that demo below:
The recent release of Hippo CMS 7.2 has put more control into the hands of end users, offering tools like a Configuration Editor, Template Editor and new batch workflow and versioning functionality. All things that appeal to end users as they try to reduce their reliance on IT.
With Hippo making the Deloitte EMEA Fast 500 for the third consecutive year and being the only open source Web CMS to do so, we may see this new partnership being put through its paces.

We've also leveraged the Kapow tool for migrating thousands of web pages for a federal government agency using Plone. It's a very nice tool, and really like working with the consultants at Kapow.
I do have to say, most of our clients using the Plone open source CMS, though, prefer one of the open source migration options/tools that are free of license cost, but that are less point-and-click than Kapow.
We recently migrated over 23,000 documents for a government agency using built-in WebDAV features of Plone, and there are some other open source add-ons for Plone that provide a more visual GUI, as Kapow does, in order to grab the title, description, keywords, and main content section from an old (possibly static) site and import it directly into the Plone CMS. This is pretty slick too, and again it helps that the tool is free, when a client might have a more limited budget and can't afford the best commercial tool out there for this type of thing, which I have to say Kapow truly is, currently.
Met the Hippo crew at the Gilbane conference - nice group!
