I'm intrigued because I tried AtoM a few years ago and had a nightmare time of it. Are you paying for the technical support (as they wouldn't give me any as I wasn't paying for it)? I had to quit it because somehow I lost all my data (a month's worth of work) and they could offer me no help retrieving it - and without any technical support in-house I really had no choice but to go for something I could figure out how to fix myself if necessary. But maybe AtoM have got better since?
