And as you guys would have probably figured out by now we are planning to migrate all our PC's to Ubuntu 8.10 x64 and 8.04 LTS x86 and x64 any help would be most welcome

Maybe you want to check out these programs:

As you mentioned compatibility: If you migrate all your workstations I 
would tend to the software which works best. Import once and then stay 
to the native format of the software. Usually this works best.

Nevertheless I would conduct sufficient testing on the software to 
guarantee that it fits your needs. (Entering data in both systems for a 
certain period)

I wish you luck
