Quest Co-Existence Manager for Notes
Quest have provided a very useful tool that provides alot of the functionality within the Microsoft Transporter Suite, and then improves upon it.
The fact that Quest have released this product highlights the areas that are lacking in the Microsoft Transporter Suite. However, as a balance, it is worth noting that the Quest product costs money, whereas the Microsoft product is free.
Microsoft Transporter Suite can be used for a quick migration that does not require a rich co-existence period.
However, Quest Co-Existence Manager, used in conjunction with Quest Notes Migrator to Exchange, provides the following key migration benefits:
- DocLink hyperlink co-existence: preserve and manage workflow with intelligent DocLinks that reference the Notes applications, even if they have been migrated to Sharepoint. This allows for a seamless Notes application migration to take place over a period of time, overlapping with the email migration.
- Consistent Calendar Data: remove the inconsistencies within calendar/meeting information across a co-existence environment. Recurrence information is retained, as are attachments within invitations. Look and feel is maintained also.
- Embbeded Lotus Notes icons and objects are maintained on the Exchange side.
This product allows for the option of a prolonged migration period where co-existence is required. This involves extra licencing costs for the software, but the risks that come with a long migration are reduced, especially support costs of managing a user base across Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes.
Email migrations can be very complex, which will increase risk of issues that can affect the email service to the business. This product can help provide a more stable platform on which to run your migration.
