Lotus Notes Migrator

Control and Simplify Your Notes to SharePoint Migration

It’s expensive and taxing to support and maintain Lotus Notes applications when you’re adopting new Microsoft technologies. It makes sense to eliminate your Notes infrastructure and standardize on the Microsoft platform by migrating your applications to SharePoint. However, a Notes-to-SharePoint migration can be a complex and expensive project that may cause data loss, compliance concerns and IT burden, as well as reduce user productivity. And estimating migration complexity and cost is challenging, making it difficult to control the project.

Notes Migrator for SharePoint migrates Lotus Notes, QuickPlace/Quickr and Domino.Doc applications to SharePoint 2007/2010, SharePoint Online and hosted SharePoint, with high data fidelity, minimal downtime and fewer development resources than you thought possible.

Notes Migrator helps you reduce the risks of data loss and a failed project with a detailed premigration analysis. You’ll stay in command of the transition with an intuitive project management console, while your complex applications migrate quickly and seamlessly, reducing costs and your stress level.

Notes Migrator for SharePoint ensures efficient and reliable migration to SharePoint with the following features:

Scan & Plan – Notes Migrator helps you discover Notes, QuickPlace/Quickr or Domino.Doc databases, classify them and analyze their design and data complexity. You’ll be able to quickly determine which applications are unused and don’t need to be migrated, as well as those that will need development resources. You can use the data collected during the analysis to help you more easily manage and automate the project.

Rules-Based Automation – Starting with the data collected during analysis, assign new target locations and migration jobs using a customizable rules-based engine. Use predefined rules for standard Notes applications or define your own rules for custom applications. Administrators can also automate hundreds of individual migration jobs, reusing design work where appropriate, to finish the migration faster and reduce the chance of error.

Power Provision – You can provision new SharePoint sites, sub-sites, lists and libraries automatically based on your Notes, QuickPlace/Quickr or Domino.Doc infrastructure, reducing IT burden. Quickly reproduce the schema of custom Notes applications in SharePoint lists and libraries. Reuse the custom SharePoint site and list templates you have already developed internally or provision new targets for your migrated content from scratch.

Extreme Data Fidelity – Migrate Notes rich text and complex application data with no loss in fidelity, ensuring a smooth transition experience for end users. Preserve all essential data, including keyword fields, multi-valued items, nested tables, embedded objects, document metadata and security attributes. Maintain document links and HTTP links between documents throughout the migration by redirecting users to the current location of each document, whether it is still on Notes or has already been migrated to SharePoint.

Dynamic Document Destinations – You can choose from a variety of migration options for applications, beyond just lists and libraries, that best achieve business objectives:

• Migrate to SharePoint wiki pages, basic pages and content publishing pages when end users need an intuitive, page-oriented experience.

• For archiving content in a practical format, migrate to Microsoft Word, PDF or HTML documents.

• For applications requiring custom form layouts, migrate your Notes documents to InfoPath XML documents, web part pages or custom Microsoft Word templates.

Complex App Accelerator – You’ll be able to accurately determine migration requirements by detecting which Notes forms are being used as content types and which applications include complex data features, such as embedded objects, document links, embedded forms, digital signatures and document encryption. You can migrate complex applications, including approval status, versioning and in-process workflow state, minimizing new development by leveraging native SharePoint features whenever possible. Migrate Notes form designs to InfoPath form libraries or InfoPath list forms. For applications deemed too complex for SharePoint, you can migrate Notes data to SQL Server tables.
