Third-Party Tools and SharePoint ISVs Over the past 8 or 9 years I have had the sincere pleasure of working with some of the top SharePoint ISVs out there and over the years some of come and gone but they key players are still there such as: Idera Metalogix AvePoint Axceler Colligo HiSoftware Tzunami WebPartGallery Bamboo Solutions Quest KnowledgeLake And many others I do not have room to mention but are very reputable From an I.T
I am currently the Director of Product Evangelism for Axceler , a SharePoint ISV that specializes in award-winning administration and migration software
Many of the leading Microsoft SharePoint ISV’s are first adapting their MOSS 2007 products to SharePoint 2010 before introducing significant innovations to their products to take advantage of the new SharePoint 2010 features

Several points that I get questions on every week that I think companies really need to understand that I have seen out there “in the trenches”: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY A THIRD PARTY TOOL TO MIGRATE SHAREPOINT 2007 CONTENT TO SHAREPOINT 2013 My firm partners with most all of the SharePoint ISVs out there in a very agnostic manner but the amount of money you would spend on a 3 rd party tool that “seamlessly migrates from 2007 to 2013” or “helps you migrate from 2007 to 2010 and then seamlessly to 2013” would better be spent repaving your companies parking lot!
