The firm I work for is in the process of acquiring a smaller firm. The firm being acquired has a existing website and extranet.
What I need is any ideas or important points that I may possibly be overlooking in migrating their web presence. I've already made sure that we get good backups of all of their data.

One thing I have done is to "merge: the 2 websites "logically". Assuming "MyCompany" acquired "Acquisition":
1 - rewrite "www.acquisition.com" to reflect the acquisition, including a link to "www.mycompany.com"
2 - create a new "A" DNS record something like "www.acquisition.mycompany.com" that points to the IP address of "www.acquisition.com"
3 - create a link on "www.mycompany.com" that links to "www.acquisition.mycompany.com" with words like "MyCompany acquires Acquisition - click here for Acquisition's website"
4 - point "www.acquisition.com" DNS records to "www.mycompany.com"
This will do until you can rewrite the website for MyCompany, then clear out Acquisition's site.
