The Domino Reality Check

Rivit Technology Partners has developed a fact-based decision support program designed to arm the IT executive team with a complete understanding of the entire Domino environment. Shape Rivit recently launched a new product and service. We called it the Domino Reality check. We really struggled with the message. I’ve been in the Lotus world since 1993. That’s a long time. We based a company around the strength and our personal beliefs in Lotus Notes. But in current times we see it struggling in the market. So we developed a service around giving people the reality of their situation. Are they using the right product? Is domino providing me what I need? If I decide to migrate what is the cost? That’s the Domino Reality Check! A great service for people who want to move off the platform or stay on it!

Quantify the total effort and cost of migrating your entire domino environment

As a Lotus Domino user, the pressure to move to a new platform has never been greater. Your peers, your executives, and your trusted advisors continue to question the future viability of the Domino platform. The decision, however, is no easy task. A decision to move mail clients can be straightforward, but the added complexity of applications makes the decision risky, and the evaluation process cumbersome. Rivit Technology Partners has developed a fact-based decision support program designed to arm the IT executive team with a complete understanding of the entire Domino environment. The analysis and subsequent report will not only quantify the true cost of migrating mail users, it’s value extends to include the entire Domino Application landscape. In a similar vein, most developers that have worked through a Domino to SharePoint migration have come across this. In SharePoint’s case, the sheer limitation of the platform itself makes the migration of complex applications very difficult.

Our Analysis will Address the Following:

What Does Staying with Domino Mean? • Can the environment be optimized to reduce cost, and improve overall performance? • What are the unrealized total potential cost savings? Are We a Candidate for a Cloud Based Email Solution? • How are users consuming email services and can the current network support a cloud-based environment? • Which solution and configuration are best for you? • What does the cost/benefit scenario look like? What Would a Move to Exchange Really Cost? • What investment in infrastructure would be required to run exchange? • What is the total effort and cost of an email migration project? • What are the future support costs compared to Domino? What is the Cost of Migrating Domino Applications? • What Domino applications are deployed across the environment? • What applications are in use, and what do those usage patterns look like? • What is the complexity of each application? • What applications interact with mail and what is the nature of the interaction? • What applications do you eliminate, web-enable, or migrate/rewrite? • What is the total cost and effort to rewrite these applications?
