With SharePoint Composer, you can import existing MOSS 2007 Portals and instantly save/document them in Microsoft word. You can then change SKU's, edit the structure, change the configuration and document your new design. You'll get a top-down view of the site hierarchy, security, services, etc. down to the web application. Composer's validation engine helps you identify issues with your existing design and make improvements in accordance with best practices.

Composer transforms a deeply technical exercise into a visual, intuitive experience and significantly eases the design process for SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Portals. The design canvas enables you to visualize and collaborate on your SharePoint design. In the canvas, you can manipulate settings for Servers, Services, Web Applications, Application Pools, Accounts, etc. Once you've completed your design, building it with Maestro is as easy as pressing a button!

Once you've fine-tuned the design of your new SharePoint 2010 Portal, you can easily deploy it without writing complex deployment scripts or manual configuration. You won’t need to learn PowerShell or the SharePoint OM to deploy your solution. SharePoint Maestro provides a repeatable deployment that can then be tested in a real-world scenario. If your first cut doesn't meet requirements, simply go back to the designer, make adjustment and redeploy.
