title: EPiServer migrate content from home grown CMS
body: <p>Hopefully someone can help me, I'm new to EPiServer and have been given a data migration task. We are using the latest version 8.5. I need to migrate content from a clients home grown CMS (that luckily is in a tree like structure) to EPiServer. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information about this on the web - perhaps I just don't know the right thing to search for.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like using the EPiServer.ServiceApi might be the route to go but again locating useful documentation is proving difficult.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of setting up the client CMS in SQL Server and writing a simple console application to call the EPiServer.ServiceApi inserting the content. If anyone has any information on this or better still and example i would be very grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
