Mapping is always fun. Having built numerous mapping pieces, I can safely say
that custom is not always better.
As an option, consider BizTalk. It has an orchestration piece that solves
the majority of mapping needs without having to write a single line of code.
It is not cheap, but you will find that your mapping program will continue to
grow and grow as you add new clients. Ultimately, this could end up with
great expense from your time.
