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

Some ideas:
Data Source Names
"external" files
Update DNS for new server

Will you be aquiring their domain name as well? If so, be careful how you take ownership. You will need the administrative or technical contact of the previous company to contact the interNIC with the new contact information. Then remember to change the information to reflect YOUR start of authority for DNS.
I would suggest "mapping" out their site and extranet, as well, using Visio or another good "mapping" software. Keeping track of file structure while migrating the site can help to prevent broken links when you are done, especially with images and scripts.
