Are you alking about a bridge or a migration?

So sorry, wasnt aware of the fact that there is a difference:

Current situation: We are running a big forum on Instantforum, but is is 2003 technologgy (at best) and it is just not up to standards anymore. In the best scenario I would like to "copy" or migrate or whatever the official term is to a vBulletin board, but I need all users, posts, links etc. etc. to be converted correctly (So all internal links need to be rewritten as well), if there is a remote chance that I lose material I rather not do it. Our forum is the backbone of our company and WAY too valuable to lose.

So I was just wondering: Is it even technically possible to do something like that? Are there already tools for sale that handle this? And if not: IF I would have to pay, what kind of money are we talking about? (If I get in the process of offering money I will start a new thread in the appropriate forum.)
