We are currently on EMR 9.5 and are looking at going through a "Data Divorce" and then a Migration to CPS 10. We have 3 options
1. leave EMR "as is" in a read-only capacity and start charting fresh in CPS 10. A lot of hassle but we would lose 15 years of garbage. We already use CPS 10 for the PM side of the formula so it would impact EMR use only. Obviously painful on the front end but ultimately clean
2. Use someone like Lost Creek Consulting to assist in doing a summary migration losing the individual historic documents but having the structured data moved
3. Paying top dollar to GE to perform these feats for the migration of most data.
I would very much like to talk to anyone that has done any of these methods to hear your successes and frustrations.

We combined EMR 2005 and PM 2004 into CPS 9.5 a couple of years ago. We already had both, and that may differ from your situation if you don't. We used GE and had a great experience. We went through two test migrations to try to identify as many issues as possible, and we were fortunate to have solid resources available to troubleshoot when things went wrong. All of our data was migrated.
I can't compare to what other companies can offer, but I would definitely recommend the GE path. If nothing else, keeping the data makes the cost worthwhile.
