How technically difficult is it to migrate a customer from one platform to another?
It is a nightmare even for technical people. In the Apache case, I remember they were not using Eclipse, and the big push from SLB at that time was, "We've got Apache interested, why don't we simply remodel the whole thing in Eclipse?

There is not a lot of value in doing that.
