  point of view, you should also audit it from
  technical prospective. Engage both your IT and
  marketing team in the communication with the
  Drupal development company.
• Recognize sort of repository used by the source
  site for storing data
• Assess how non-content data has been structured
  in the source site
• Research about migration tools technology used
  by other Drupal web development firms.
• Talk to the developer to recognize the best
  practices to migrate the site in minimum time.

Migration from older Drupal version to new one

• Its good enough if you are already on Drupal and
  want to migrate to the new one. But to have the
  migration successfully done, you will still need
  to hire a developer. Keep these things in mind
  while upgrading the version.
• Check whether the new version has all the modules
  available as of the prior one. If not available,
  developers will need to create them and it will
  of course increase the cost of the migration.
• You cannot skip any version while upgrading. For
  example, if your website is running on Drupal 5
  and you want to upgrade it to Drupal 7 then you
  will first need to upgrade the site to Drupal 6
  and then to the 7.
