Is there any tooling or other methodology to assist with migrating from another workflow system to Activiti?

No. Only if the system uses bpmn 2.0 you can migrate the process definitions, but that's pretty much it I'm afraid.

I was asking more than about the actual processes - we manually converted the processes.  Now we want to migrate the history and inflight cases from the old system.  We have a mapping of the the old process to the new process and are writing tooling to create the new instance and then feed events to drive it to the corresponding state.  Just wondered if there were other ways to do it, specifically where we can keep the historical date/time of the transitions.

Hi Alcima,

Now we want to migrate the history and inflight cases from the old system.

then feed events to drive it to the corresponding state
One possibility could be to use simulation (e.g. https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/pull/267 or https://github.com/gro-mar/activiti-crystalball/wiki/Getting-started) to generate and run events on activiti with historical date/time of the transition.
(Do not forget  job executions)
