Advice/Resources for Upgrading from D6 to D7?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hi Everyone,

Currently I work with three Drupal 6 websites and I'm trying to find a guide or any advice on the best way to upgrade these sites to Drupal 7. These sites are module heavy and there is a process setup that imports customer and product information into the drupal database.

To my understanding, there isn't a very easy way to do this. I'm hoping I don't have to go through just setting up brand new sites - please tell me there is a way to transfer information.

Also, do any of you out there do contract work?

WebFM caution

Just a word of caution Jess,
Your sites rely (or at least had relied when I was involved) on the WebFM module... there might be a couple of other nuances, but that's one you're definitely going to need a solution for.

Thanks

Thanks Rohn. I'll be sure to keep it on radar to make sure we can accommodate that feature.

jessSchn, did you heard about cart2cart ( http://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/supported-carts/5395-drupalcommerce) ? thais is a commercial service, I had migrated my store from open cart to drupal with this tool, but it seems to me that it is possible to upgrade shopping cart to the newest version. Check it out. I guess it is possible to imports customer and product information .
