Public / Healthcare

The project started with a tool-based analysis and evaluation of the existing Lotus Notes solution. Based on this, a target vision was developed for the platform to be designed as well as the mailboxes, applications and data to be migrated. The existing solution was then categorized in terms of functional and technical complexity and given a priority. In the further course, an initial definition of possible migration paths and an outline in the new target architecture were described. The analyses resulted in a description of the work steps to be carried out in the related work package description and enabled a first overview of the effort.
In the second part of the project, the concept was developed. Along with the functional use cases, we provided a detailed description of the operating environment and procedures, as well as the technical design of each migration work package.
In the third step, we then carried out the iterative implementation and the migration itself. (Setting up the target environment, creating migration scripts, test migrations, porting applications to SharePoint 2013, mailbox migration, data migration)
