Does elevated x have an import tool when moving from an existing cms. I have some sites on site depth and some on a custom cms thats a bit behind the times.

This is a mixed answer but I hope it helps.
1) We have a CSV import function that works well. The catch to this is that it requires the data to be in CSV format and this can be problematic when dealing with content locations. It's great for importing other data such as titles, site, models, categories, etc.
2) We can do database conversions from ANY other CMS. The cost and turnaround time is far less for conversions from an existing commercial CMS than from a custom system. Please shoot me an email at
[email protected] with some details as to what you're looking to do and I'll reply with more info on the options and the process involved to do a migration/conversion.
3) Adding content sets to the system by hand isn't as bad as many people think. Recently while working on our CMS demo site I was able to add about 275 scenes in 2 days by myself including titles, descriptions, associating models, and cropping a preview thumbnail for each. It's actually not "that much" work considering it's a 1 time project and the benefit is great.
Most times unless someone has over 1000 sets of content they opt for doing it manually since the time/cost benefit of automation usually doesn't make sense for a project that would only take a week or so to complete if done by hand.
If you have more questions about anything please don't hesitate to shoot me an email or give me a call 1-800-690-9277. Dial 0 and ask for AJ.
I'm out of the office at the moment but if you leave a voicemail it will page me and I'll call you back from my cell
