Currently my organization has about a half-dozen portals in the IT
department. I have been tasked with creating a centralized document
repository (something I was pushing for when we had SharePoint 2003 and even
on the file directory) and wanted to check and see if I could get an idea of
just how big of a project this is going to be. I think it might just be
easier to start from scratch with a top level IT portal followed by creating
department subsites and one of those subsites would be the document center.
After I get everything moved over, delete the independent portals.

But considering I do not have a current top level site, am I going to have
to move the current docs in each individual portal to the new one? For the
record, I am an end-user administrator and I have not yet talked to the
server admin about this. I just wanted to get an idea of how those of you
with a little more knowledge of MOSS 2007 might address this situation. I am
thrilled that my plan (which I have been pushing for since we installed 2007
in late December) but before I go into meetings to discuss the details of
the project, I want to get more information.
