Binary Tree's Application Transformation Framework (ATF)

Holistically move your Lotus Notes applications to SharePoint with the Application Transformation Framework

Binary Tree’s Application Transformation Framework (ATF) provides a solution for dramatically reducing the complexity, risks, costs and effort of transforming legacy Lotus Notes applications to Microsoft SharePoint. ATF is a comprehensive methodology supported by an integrated suite of software that assists you through the complete process from initial planning to the launch of the new applications and the retirement of the legacy platform.

The legacy application environment is thoroughly inspected and analyzed to properly separate applications by usage, business value, and by the complexity of their business logic and data. Subsequently, applications based on standard templates can be migrated to their functional equivalents in the new SharePoint infrastructure.

Custom applications are further evaluated based on the most complete and up-to-date information about their content, design, and business logic collected during inspection to make recommendations for the transformation approach and platform target. ATF can even assist in estimating the cost of any potential redevelopment efforts.

As the applications are transitioned off of the legacy platform, the footprint of the platform itself can be continuously decreased. This effort reduces the costs of maintaining the legacy platform and increases the ROI of your transformation initiative.



The Transformation Process from Notes to SharePoint

Inspect and Report

Using CMT Inspector, you can perform a thorough, iterative inspection of your legacy Notes/Domino environment. Collect and store critical attributes, properties and data in a SQL repository with a well-defined schema. Generate a series of predefined reports to present key information to project stakeholders.

Analyze and Rationalize

Use the information presented via the standard inspection reports from CMT Inspector, or create custom reports based on the data collected using SQL Reporting Services to make informed decisions regarding your transformation project.

Transform Your Applications

Relocate Applications
Use CMT for SharePoint to migrate “like-to-like” applications based on standard templates to their functional equivalents in the target SharePoint environment. After the migration, the applications should be retired to reduce the load and cost of the legacy platform.

Redevelop Applications
Use CMT Inspector design and code representation to estimate, plan, and perform design and logic translation to the new format and technology. Use CMT for SharePoint to migrate content of the legacy applications to the new applications. After the migration, the applications should be retired to reduce the load and cost of the legacy platform.

Reinvent Applications
For applications whose design and business logic should be recreated or may be represented by an off-the-shelf third-party application, use CMT for SharePoint to migrate content of the legacy applications to the new applications. After the migration, the applications should be retired to reduce the load and cost of the legacy platform.

Retain Applications
For applications that will remain in the legacy Domino environment due to a limited life-span or excessive transformation costs, use CMT for Coexistence with ZApp to support mail-enabled workflow and allow Outlook users to transparently communicate with legacy applications. After the retention period has expired, the applications should be retired to reduce the load and cost of the legacy platform.

Retire Applications
Legacy applications that are no longer being used or carry no business value should be retired to reduce the cost of transformation and the load and cost of the legacy platform.

Consolidate and Retire Legacy Systems

As applications are retired from the legacy Domino platform, Domino Consolidator will enable you to shrink the footprint of your Domino infrastructure. By reducing the number of Domino servers, you can minimize the costs associated with maintaining the legacy environment.
