title: Importing bulk data into sharepoint
body: <p>I have an issue with a new sharepoint install that we've recently deployed to replace an ageing content management system that I implemented a few years ago.</p>
  
  <p>What I'd really like is to save my colleagues as much effort as possible by transferring the content from my CMS into sharepoint.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not very good with sharepoint yet, and my development platform of choice is PHP MySQL, so basically I'm wondering if sharepoint has any facility to import sites, I can easily built filters to reformat the content in my CMS into whatever (please let it be XML) format sharepoint will accept but I have no idea if sharepoint will even let me do this.</p>
  
  <p>I have limited access to the sharepoint server, although in this case I can probably negotiate more if that's the only way.</p>
  
  <p>Mostly I just need some pointers - does sharepoint have any facility to do this, and where do I start doing it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
