There's no quick way to migrate from one platform to another.
But if you work out a plan it can be done fairly quickly (a few weeks).

I'd use httrack ( http://www.httrack.com/ ) to make a static version of your website that you can work with as plain html/etc. I'm not sure what dynamic feature you need but there are a ton of plugins for Joomla find equivalents before you start.

Build it offline (JSAS or another linux box) and move it to the real server when you're done (usually requires a DNS change). Migrating a joomla site from one site to another is fairly straight forward as long as you keep everything in the same place relatively (changes to the configuration.php typically).

There is an IIS based content manager we would like to move away from
also, and try to keep some of its stuff.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
