Key Success Factors for Migrations
The end-user experience must be transparent and the user workflow must be maintained
Communications to end-users must be simple
The project must be predictable and manageable
The project plan must be flexible and focused on reducing costs and risks
The technology you choose can make a big difference in the results you realize

Understanding the Challenges of Migration
The wrong approach or the wrong tools can undermine your initiative
Potential risks of the wrong approach or wrong tools:
A longer and more complex migration project
Declines in the productivity and collaboration of your users and executives
The delay of key business processes
Missing data
Budget overruns
Higher on-going costs from not consolidating and retiring the legacy Domino environment

A New Challenge for Migrating to Exchange 2010
Microsoft is no longer providing directory synchronization or free/busy

Audit and correct mail files
Update user desktops to reflect a single domain

What is Workflow?
The flow or amount of work to and from an office, department, or employee (Dictionary.com)
The foundation of organizational productivity
Workflow interruption will adversely impact organizational productivity and doom a migration project to failure

Protect the Workflow ofYour Users
CMT for Coexistence 3.0 AND CMT for Exchange 3.1 protect the user workflow between Domino and Exchange

Protect the Workflow ofYour Users
Prevent interruptions in collaboration with CMT for Coexistence & CMT for Exchange
Ensuring Messaging Workflow, including doc & database links
Ensuring Calendar Workflow even for complex recurring meetings
Ensuring Application Workflow by enabling Outlook users to see and act on email-enabled Lotus Notes workflow applications
Ensuring Directory Workflow with directory synchronization
Ensuring Availability Workflow with calendar free/busy lookups

Protect the Directory Workflow of Your Users
Ensure that user addressing is transparent and functional
CMT for Coexistence Directory Workflow
Establishes directory synchronization between Domino and Exchange
Ensures that user addressing is transparent and functional regardless of a user’s migration status
Enables Notes and Outlook users to view traditional hierarchical name addresses in their emails and calendar invites rather than confusing SMTP names addressing
Without CMT for Coexistence…
…easy to understand email addresses before the migration…
…can turn into confusing email addresses during the migration…

Protect the Availability Workflow of Your Users
Ensure that users can check invitee availability when scheduling meetings
CMT for Coexistence Availability Workflow
Establishes calendar free/busy lookups between Domino and Exchange
Ensures that Notes and Outlook users can obtain calendar free/busy information about other users regardless of which system they are on or regardless of their migration status

Protect the Messaging Workflow of Your Users
Ensure the normal functionality of email between your users
CMT for Coexistence Messaging Workflow
Message threads stay intact regardless of migration status
Also enables Outlook users to view and interact with embedded graphics, as well as Notes document and database links, the same way Notes users do

Protect the Calendar Workflow of Your Users
Keep your user calendars in sync
CMT for Coexistence Calendar Workflow
Ensures that calendar events between the Notes users and the Outlook users stay in sync regardless of their migration status
Applies to creating meetings, updating meetings, rescheduling meetings, cancelling meetings, and even apples to changes to complex recurring meetings

Protect the Application Workflow of Your Users
Enable Outlook users to act on email-enabled Notes workflow apps
CMT for Coexistence Application Workflow
The Zero-touch Application Remediation (ZApp) option of CMT for Coexistence 3.0 prevents Notes application failure when users are migrated to Outlook
Intercepts mail messages with embedded Notes elements and remediates them for Outlook Users
Catches apps with Lotus UI commands that trigger mail messages and ensures they work properly
Apps that write to a users Lotus Notes calendar are either fixed or the user is notified with the information in a mail message
Requires no changes to the applications

More about Calendar Workflow
It’s not just part of coexistence
Transitional Calendar Workflow: Ability to schedule, re-schedule, update, cancel meetings across dissimilar platforms regardless of chairperson and invitee migration status
Significant Calendar Workflow is accomplished by CMT for Coexistence and CMT for Exchange separately, but even greater Calendar Workflow is achieved when CMT for Coexistence and CMT for Exchange are used together
Examples:
Notes chair schedules a meeting with some Notes and Exchange invitees, then chairperson and some invitees migrate to Exchange... …Subsequent re-schedules, updates, and cancellations work
Exchange chair schedules a meeting with some Notes and Exchange invitees, then some invitees migrate to Exchange... …Subsequent re-schedules, updates, and cancellations work

Ensure the Fidelity of the Data You MigrateConsider the following example…
Room and Resource Databases
CMT for Exchange 3.1 – Fully supports the migration of Room and Resource Databases

Ensure Migration Extensibility
Meeting customer-specific requirements
Use standard or develop custom pre-migration Lotus Notes actions to prepare Domino Mail files for migration
For example: replicate mail files to central environment
Send e-mails to end-users with actions to prepare end-user environments (Notes Clients) for migration
For example: decrypt encrypted mail items
Another example: insert local contacts into mail file
Another example: find and push local archives to a central location
Filter migrated data by date range, age, type, size, etc.
Manage ACL contents/Mail File delegations
Anything else?

What about end-user run migrations?
Benefits and shortcomings of a self-service model
CMT for Exchange supports Server and End-user migration
Every end-user machine becomes a migration workstation
Good: no need to build migration infrastructure
Bad: inconsistent hardware, network bandwidth, OS, application software
Every end-user becomes a migration administrator
Good: no need to allocate resources
Bad: inconsistent expertise, insufficient authority, greater need for support
Every end-user schedules own migration
Good: no need for centralized scheduling and coordination
Bad: no centralized reporting, progress monitoring
Preferred approach – Centralized Server Migration
Local archives can be consolidated on a central File Server or Domino Server and migrated in a centralized mode

Migration to MS Online (BPOS-S) Considerations
Traditional on-premises migration approach appears to give customers a greater sense of control and ownership, but requires a potentially significant investment in migration hardware, software, and personnel
Hosted migration approach still gives customer some control, but virtually eliminates customer’s investment in migration hardware, software, and personnel
Both on-premises and hosted migration approaches may be suitable for a gradual migration
Hosted migration approach is the only way to achieve a rapid migration
