It looks from your website that you currently use Sirsi, there are various vendors on here who have migrated multiple sites from Sirsi to Evergreen, but ease of moving depends on how much customization you have done to your Sirsi install and how clean your data is.
With us there was a lot of detail work to decide how we wanted the Sirsi categories to be mapped to Evergreen categories, but the actual data move went fairly well.
