Migrate Up to 10,000 Users per Week from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange with Binary Tree's Patent Pending Migration Factory Process


Binary Tree's patent-pending 'Migration Factory' process enables large organizations to migrate up to 10,000 users a week from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange and Outlook. This patent-pending Lotus migration process utilizes Binary Tree's award-winning CMT for Exchange software and a field-proven migration methodology to migrate over 10 terabytes of messaging data and up to 10,000 users a week from geographically dispersed locations.

The Migration Factory process makes use of an assembly line methodology with seven primary components or phases that include pre-processing, staging, provisioning, migrations, archiving, remediation and support. Six of the seven phases are strategically organized into daily and workweek schedules to ensure that the process is optimized for performance, manageability and repeatability.

The Migration Factory process relies on three key technology components of Binary Tree's CMT for Exchange software (formerly known as CMT Universal) to achieve the aforementioned optimization objectives. A powerful enterprise migration management (EMM) interface allows easy selection of thousands of users for migration and simplifies execution of numerous pre-migration tasks instrumental in preparation for a large-scale migration. The ability to employ a combination of type, age, and size filters reduces migration data to a more manageable subset. And an automated workload distribution (AWD) mechanism ensures that a virtually unlimited number of parallel migrations can take place simultaneously with minimal administration effort.

The combination of these unique features with unparalleled data migration fidelity and throughput, make CMT for Exchange the only migration product capable of supporting such an ambitious goal as migration of 10,000 users in a week. Once the necessary migration infrastructure is established, the process can be repeated over and over again, dramatically reducing the overall migration time and cost.
