March Hare Software can provide consulting to migrate version history stored in any format to the CVSNT repository. Popular formats such as Visual SourceSafe do not require much time or effort to convert. March Hare Software can also provide training for system administrators as well as general users on the differences between the old and the new system. Visual Source Safe, PVCS, ClearCase and Perforce are each excellent version control solutions each with many features, and each with unique features. CVSNT is not an emulator designed to replace any of them. However these tools solve problems generally defined by the phrases version control and configuration management, and those are the same problems that CVSNT is designed to solve. Therefore in some situations it may be possible to switch one for the other and have very little impact on your business.
