In general migrating a site and upgrading to Drupal involves the same process as any other migration to a modern system.
Things to consider and come to your developers with include:
- A well defined vision for the new site (ideally agreed upon by all key decision makers)
- A set of business goals to meet
- An overall idea of desired traffic levels (which helps dev teams evaluate and plan the Drupal system set-up that will best meet your needs)
The following things are usually identified and developed along the way to building the web site. Clients generally come to me with some to none of these completed.
