Managing the Migration Process

Staff

To implement a migration to IIS 5.0, the project staff needs to have the following skills:

Knowledge of Windows 2000 Server networking and administration, including domain design, Web services, and security setup.
Understanding of general internetworking concepts and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) technologies.
Familiarity with Microsoft Internet technologies, including ASP.
For migrations involving interoperation between UNIX and Windows 2000 Server, a firm grasp of the relevant concepts, and awareness of the available tools.
For migrations from UNIX Web services, application developers should have the ability to port applications and utilities from UNIX to Windows 2000 Server.

These skills could already exist within your company. On the other hand, you might decide to hire a consulting firm to round out your capabilities or even to handle the entire migration effort. If your project is small, you might find all the talent you need in one or two experienced members of your staff.
