Moving to MS Exchange from Lotus Domino

Hi everyone just wanted to share these information with you all since most of our customers are interested on the benefits on moving to Exchange from Domino mail environment to Exchange. Even though this will be a cost factor initially long term the ROI really going to help them to streamline the business productivity. We found most of our customers are having hard time maintaining Domino environment as well as support wise. Never the less my point is to provide some insight of the changing wave from Domino to Exchange happening is not only Asian countries but it's happening globally. Below you'll find a good article about the deciosn taken by major companies to move to new platform,

"In our last fiscal year (July 2008-June 2009), more than 4.7 million people began the switch to Exchange and SharePoint from Notes", Exchange marketing director Julia White posts on the Unified Communications blog.
Cost savings is the number one driver for migrations, according to the post. Another key driver for migrations is the launch of Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. If you're considering the move to cloud-based services, Microsoft services offer plenty of choice for customers of all sizes. Julia notes that large Notes shops - including Coca-Cola Enterprises, GlaxoSmithKline, and Ingersoll Rand - are making the move from Notes to Exchange Online.

Microsoft has introduced the latest toolkit called freebusy connector to migrate Domino environment to Exchange. Recent toolkit even has the capability to migrate the Domino workflows to SharePoint as well. More information about the toolkit can be found here.

If anyone is interested on this you can PM me offline. I can provide more information since our company already carry out testing on this and found out the connector is working properly. What we are up to now is testing this on Exchange 2010environment :)

Dear Sir,
It is clear to me that you do not actually have experience in this area as you only site marketing and product information and from your blog your Lotus Domino experience is non existant.

To note, a test environment is nothing compared to a real scenario. If for example, you take the No1 migration tool, Quest, the number of ways that this tool can be used in for Exchange/Notes environment is huge. I have experience with a migration, planned by Quest partners in a duplication of clients actuall environment, that came to a standstill 2 days after the consultant left - the information asked for, the real life experience factors were missing, we were left with text book information that, when we researched ourselves, were apparently already out of date techniques.

The built in tools provided in the box are suitable for a simplistic Exchange environment. However, if small installations are what you are after, then no problem, your prospects will become your learning curve.

In addition, there is far more money to be made from clients who migrate. Plus, the long term implications to running and maintaining Sharepoint is going to cost customers more and more, but that is a ROI Story for some time to come - either way, do I care if my customers are promised lower long term costs, when in fact, I have a greater chance of making more money??? Unfortunately, yes, so I will continue to show them how they can get more value, pay less, from existing Lotus Domino investments. This may not be good for consulting business, as many see the money coming in when the MS solutions are rolled out. Personally, my work satisfaction / enjoyment level is significantly higher when I am using IBM Lotus Domino based solutions.

Best Regards and for your future business.

Can anyone recommend the well-priced Software Deployment system for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central internet security software
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
