Composer for Lotus Notes
Composer for Lotus Notes is a software + services solution that delivers like-for-like, production-to-production migration of Lotus Notes applications to the Microsoft stack.
Companies with Lotus Notes often have hundreds to thousands of Notes applications proliferated throughout the enterprise, ranging from discussion databases to form/views to complex workflow, LotusScript-based systems. As companies inventory and explore their Notes environment, the four options considered for addressing these Notes applications include:
- Retire the applications
- Replace with packaged applications
- Rewrite the application from scratch
- Migrate the application to preserve the business logic/workflow while minimizing the disruption associated with retraining end users.
For those applications the business determines to keep that continue to address their unique business requirements, a migration strategy becomes the optimal choice.
Composer for Lotus Notes is a software + services engagement that enables the rapid adoption of the Microsoft Office System and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Composer migrates complex Lotus Notes collaboration and template applications while preserving the business logic/workflow in order to avoid end-user disruption.
With Composer, Lotus Notes applications are decomposed and re-assembled:
- Data from the Lotus Notes application is migrated into a normalized SQL Server database
- Business logic is restructured as C# Web Services in Visual Studio
- User Interface is transformed into SharePoint Lists, Web Parts and ASP.NET applications
- ACL security is mapped into the Microsoft Active Directory Services
