Solving a Lotus Data Migration Dilemma

Espresso Moon creates and implements custom management tools for Lotus Notes data migration that are tailored to their clients specific needs.

If you have found it difficult to migrate your data from Lotus Notes to a compatible system for future development, you're not alone. The need for individualized data migration solutions often appears to clients who try a 'do it yourself' approach. LM Management (www.lm-mgmt.com) discovered they needed a reliable solution for migrating a large amount of data from Lotus to another format. Espresso Moon worked together with LM Management in creating a cost-effective system that not only met their requirements for an initial migration of data, but anticipated their future needs as well.

CHALLENGES

Migrating large amounts of data while maintaining the integrity of data and corresponding attachments.
Transfering the data and attachments to a universal format that could be used in many different developmental tools
Anticipating future needs for real-time exporting to allow for the most updated and current data possible
Analysis of LM Management databases showed a large amount of special characters that would present a problem for future exports

SOLUTIONS

Creation of an initial developmental exportation tool that allowed all data to be exported, including special characters
Exportation tool created total transparency for client, allowing them access to their data in many formats

CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

The tool was passed to LM Management for future use, understanding the need for real-time data
Client was able to produce accurate data exports as they deem necessary for future use in any project
