New Mapguide User

Hello,
Our company is currently using Civil 3D 2008 and we are exploring the option of bringing MapGuide into the equation. We are encountering GIS data more often and want to start storing and utilizing it. I have read several of the white papers and everything seems nice and dandy, but I wanted to get an opinion from some of the users on how the product performs. Also, do you have any tips on how to prepare DWG's for migration into this system? Any feedback would be great. Thank you!

PS - We will be implementing this on a Windows / SQL Server platform.

My question to you is what does your company, firm, organization do? Using
C3D tells me you might be just an engineering firm working with or for
others that may need the data you create. If you are an utility company,
electric, water, telecom etc. then Mapguide should be consider as a tool to
use in the office. Using Map 3D (with C3D) and a good spatial database
(oracle) to store the data may be a better choice if you don't have lots of
admin users that need to view data or maps but keep up with records. (MHO)
