Progression Web moves Web site documents, database connections, configuration settings (such as virtual directories and virtual servers), security (passwords, authorization, authentication and NTLM) and error messages.

“Progression Web provides companies an automated method of quickly and accurately moving their Web sites to the highly stable and secure Apache environment,” says Jon Walker, chief technical officer of Versora. “A huge cost savings can be realized when companies move from IIS to Apache. What was a major project involving several days of manual reconfiguration and programming is reduced to a few hours when using Progression Web.”
