The devil is always in the details. You'd want to look at the current usage of the software stack and assess whether migrating to anything would require extensive re-learning. The idea is not merely to migrate, but, to do it in a manner that your end users do not have to flounder around due to lack of hand-holding or, documentation. I've often noticed posts on the LUG-Chennai list about FOSSLabs being set up. Perhaps you can look at the archives and check how to go about.
