Migrations Migrations Migrations…

Posted by:

Damn. Its been a while since I blogged. Rivit has been really busy the last couple of months.

Our core focus is now Migration. Migrating people from one platform to another.  Typically we are seeing IBM Lotus Domino clients moving their mail or applications to another platform.  However, we also see companies moving between archiving products.  But We’ll talk about archiving migrations in a later blog.

Xpages server – Its Here

Posted by:

Back in March, 2011, I blogged about an idea that Carl Tyler had about stripping the domino and notes (naming and marketing wise) out of a the Domino server and leaving the Xpages behind.  (I’ve taken the liberty of editing out the rest of the comments I had in there for you.  Domino is still there).

Well its here.  Xpages Server!  Here’s Ed Brills’ Post explaining it.
