We used the Quest NMSP tool to migrate a large volume of Lotus Notes Domino 8 (and older) databases to SharePoint 2010 over the course of a number of years. We are currently at version 6.1 of the Quest product.
During 2019, we will be working to upgrade our SharePoint environment from 2010 to 2016. As it turns out, we have a late arrival of six Notes databases that will also need to be migrated out of SP in that same timeframe. Two questions:
1. Not knowing our SP 2010 to 2016 upgrade plan (which could change anyway), is there a recommendation as to whether to try to migrate directly to 2010, adding those new six sites to the pile of 2010 sites that already need to be migrated to 2016, versus migrating the sites directly into 2016? Obviously the former would allow us to keep our NMSP version where it is now, so there is that reason for the former alternative, but having six fewer sites to migrate to 2016 might be a better goal.
2. Must we upgrade NMSP in order to migrate directly into 2016?
Thoughts?
