That sounds like it could be very useful. Maryam?

That is indeed a good point.

Note though that even a pure commercial solution like
Memberclicks will require time for customization and work
on our part as well - if you look at the timeline slide,
some of the tasks where responsible party is "ORG ID" (us)
may not turn out to be quite as easy as they seem.

On the otherhand it is possible to buy support for CiviCRM
customization and maintenance as well. I don't know if
Maryam's research went as far as identifying companies
and their ability to do necessary customization and
migration work for us, but I'd like to have some kind
of review of options, possibly even asking for proposals.
