data model User Interface Business Logic Lotus Data

31. Lotus Notes Migration Challenges
‣ Organizations often do not know how many databases exist
‣ Often legacy databases are unsupported and lack documentation
‣ Complex security often obscures and hides data
‣ Migrations require both Force.com & Lotus expertise
‣ Volume of Notes databases makes it difficult to answer, “Where to begin?”

33. Value Proposition
‣ EscapeNotes provides automated assessment
and migration technology
‣ Drastically reduces migration costs and time
(1 month/app down to to several days)
‣ Easily identify where migration complexity resides
‣ Preserve value of legacy Notes data
‣ Core team includes members of the original
Lotus Notes engineering team

35. Infrastructure Complexity
‣ Top 1% apps = 20% of the complexity
‣ Top 10% apps = 66% of the complexity
‣ 2% apps have code score > 5,000
‣ 25% apps have complexity > 300
‣ 15% apps have a score > 2000
As a benchmark, the Lotus standard R5 mail template, considered by
most as complex, has a Design score of 300 and a Code Score of 2,000.
