DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator

DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator

DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator provides a reliable, efficient and cost-effective solution for the transfer of documents and application content from Lotus Notes/QuickPlace/Quickr to Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and 2010.

DocAve lets SharePoint administrators easily automate the process of consolidating legacy Lotus Notes/QuickPlace/Quickr into SharePoint with minimal impact on end-users.

To ensure a complete and successful migration, DocAve's Pre-Migration Scanner provides a detailed analyses of the migration before it is performed, delivering an itemized report of all elements that will not migrate successfully unless addressed further. The DocAve Pre-migration Scanner will detect and notify you of any illegal characters, user permissions, user names, user domains, and other legacy elements that must be mapped in order to migrate successfully into SharePoint.

It is one business need to migrate your Notes content with granularity and full fidelity to your organization’s new SharePoint environments. However, the work cannot stop there. In the Lotus Notes Domino server environment, when additional servers are added, they are automatically configured to synchronize with one another. Even though there is no native replication capability within SharePoint, your organization does not have to miss out on this mission-critical need in today’s global economy. With DocAve Replicator for SharePoint, recreate the same geo-distributed synchronization of your SharePoint instances with one-way, two-way, and one-to-many replication of SharePoint content and farms in real time.

As with all AvePoint software, DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator leverages only fully supported Microsoft methodologies and API’s.

Key Advantages of the DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator

Effectively Consolidate Lotus Content Sources onto SharePoint 2007 and 2010

DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator reliably migrates content, documents and other collaborative assets from Lotus Notes/QuickPlace/Quickr to SharePoint Lists, Libraries, and Sites, while preserving valuable mission-critical information.

Maintain Consistent Service Levels Before and After Migration

With a GUI-based, drag-and-drop mapping of source Lotus content to the associated Microsoft SharePoint artifacts – including access control lists, DocLinks, etc – everything is migrated with precision and ease, so knowledge workers can continue to access their content without interruption. Folder structures, topic-reply hierarchies, document properties and all associated metadata are retained with full fidelity, ensuring that all migrated content looks and performs just like it did in Lotus Notes, QuickPlace, and Quickr.

Reduce Management Overhead with Reusable Mapping Profiles

DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator provides a graphical option to map list templates, column names, content types, as well as user and group permissions into their corresponding settings in SharePoint. This can be saved as a reusable profile so that every migration job can be associated with the appropriate policy settings.

Eliminate Unwanted Clutter During Migration

Granular select content to included or exclude content for a migration job, or filter document based on a Lotus Notes formula. This provides administrators a perfect opportunity to filter out unwanted content as needed during a migration process, resulting in a fresh, simple-to-manage, and clutter-free Microsoft SharePoint environment.

Maintain Effective, Real-Time Replication Across Geographically Distributed Locations

Transfer your legacy content from Lotus Notes environment to SharePoint, and retain the same geo-distributed synchronization delivered by Notes Domino servers. Using DocAve Replicator, users will be assured that they are accessing and editing the same version of an item across multiple SharePoint environments – a feature already familiar to legacy Notes knowledge workers.

Flexible Deployment and Scheduling with Live or Plan Mode

Migrate an entire team room, a document library, or just an individual file, in real-time via the live-migration mode, or according to a customizable schedule. A dynamic, Windows Explorer-like graphical interface provides a vibrant user experience that lets administrators select content with a simple drag-and-drop motion and execute migration jobs on-the-fly. In addition, granular, plan-based content migration and flexible job scheduling allows administrators to plan migration jobs according to business needs and other organizational timetables.
