Migration from TFS to RTC
Accepted answer
I am not aware of a tfs2rtc importer.
One approach is to use the tfs2svn tool (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tfs2svn/) to convert to an svn repository, and then use the RTC svn importer. See the blog http://esmithy.net/2011/02/01/migrating-from-tfs-to-svn/ for some experiences using tfs2svn. For the work items, you'll need to dump that info to a CSV or XML file so it can be imported into RTC with the RTC work item importer. Getting the imported work items linked to the imported change sets will probably involve some coding against the RTC API.

And if source code, are you talking about import of all branches and commit history as well?

3 tier architecture: Web layer, application layer, database layer (Microsoft SQL Server 2008)
Our source control tool is Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010
The company is deciding to buy RTC and so perhaps we will have to do this migration moving to Eclipse and RTC and leaving VS behind
The migration will involve all: source code (all branches) and w.i. and such
