The document discusses methods for getting data in and out of the cloud for email services and contacts/calendars between old and new systems. It notes that using standard interfaces like IMAP and standardized data formats like email made migration easier between services that both supported these. For more complex data, a lack of standards for interfaces and data formats would require ETL processes to deal with differences, and there is a risk over time that transformed data won't fully support the original data.
