The SharePoint Tidal Wave

Many workgroups use SharePoint for team collaboration and document sharing.

– The “backend” to Microsoft Office, SharePoint is tightly integrated with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

– It’s simple to deploy, easy to use, and “free” with Windows Server 2003 or 2007.

However….Lotus Notes and Domino customers that adopt SharePoint struggle to meet collaboration objectives.

Lack of integration with Lotus Notes slows SharePoint adoption

– Accessing SharePoint documents is a multi-step process.

Emails and documents related to business decisions are locked up in personal mailboxes.

– It’s not possible to publish Lotus Notes emails and associated document attachments on SharePoint.

These should be simple, 1-step processes.

IT Options: Notes to Outlook/Exchange Migration

Expensive:– According to Ferris Research a typical

email migration from Notes to Outlook for 12,500 users costs $3.5M.

– Migrating Domino applications cost at least twice as much as email.

– Migration costs: software licensing, application conversion, storage & backup, hardware, migration tools, contractors, and training costs.

Questionable ROI:- TCO for Domino and Exchange are identical: $1,800 per year, per email box

Increased vendor lock-in.

Champion Solutions Group

Technology solutions provider and Notes/Domino customer is implementing MOSS to deliver a Web-based document management, team sites, and integration with back-end Microsoft SQL-based applications.  

Champion selected Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator to integrate SharePoint with Lotus Notes and Sametime.

 

“We already have a unified communications infrastructure in place that’s fully integrated with our business processes, and we don’t see a compelling reason to migrate to a Microsoft Outlook and Office in order to unify our messaging and collaboration platforms.

“Mainsoft offers the practical integration path we need to support our end users’ preferred platforms while preserving our existing IT investments.”

Northeastern University offers Lotus Notes 6.x, 7.x and 8.x to its 2,500 faculty and staff.

They also offer SharePoint as a shared service for department-level collaboration. Today, 200 people use SharePoint. They anticipate eventually, 500-1,000 will use it regularly.

To promote SharePoint adoption, NEU considered a migration to Outlook and Exchange, which offer direct access to SharePoint.

Instead, the University purchased Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator to integrate their existing messaging and collaboration platforms.

NEU plans upgrade to Notes 8.5 and incorporate additional Notes-SharePoint integration features.
