In a typical migration away from Lotus Notes, Administrators usually migrate the most recent mail to provide business continuity.
However this approach misses important older mail, e.g. employment related mail, personal mail, contacts etc.
To assist with this, the Notes Pipeliner also includes 'Migration on Demand', a self-service interface where users search their own Mail & Archives using a Browser, then migrate Mail, Calendar Items, Tasks, Contacts etc, when and if required.
This supports Administrator-driven migration, saves time and resources, and acts as a safety net for important data.
Overview
Using any Web Browser, users search their Mail & Archives whenever they want, as many times as they want, then export results to Microsoft 365, PST, PDF, HTML and EML. For example, a user could choose to migrate all their Contacts, all mail from a specific person/company, all mail in certain folders, all mail with 'legal' in the subject etc.
This means Admins can provide business continuity, but also make all historical Notes Mail available, without needing to migrate TB of unnecessary data.
Powerful search functionality makes it easy for users to find the data they want, and this function can be used for as long as required, for any number of users.
* 12000 users at one company migrated themselves to Office 365 this way.
The following screenshots illustrate Migration on Demand.
Each user sees only their own Mail & Archives. The Administrator controls options, labels, logos etc.
This example searches Mail and Archives for the word 'Partnerworld', where there is also at least one attachment;
From the results page, users select results to migrate, then the required format. Administrators decide what formats are available.
If migrating to PST, you can choose to add results to an existing PST, building one PST from multiple searches.
The user either downloads the exported files, or migrates data directly to Microsoft 365.
Users can also use a dedicated Folder Export function, organising data into Folders prior to migration, or
upload files to Microsoft 365 and/or Microsoft 365 Archives.
Administrators control all facets of the migration - date ranges allowed, types of documents allowed, target formats, volume of concurrent exports, volume of data, prevention of duplicates etc. This ensures Administrators still manage the data migration, but allow users to execute it.
