Many Lotus Notes customers use Lotus Sametime for unified communications (UC) and collaboration, including instant messaging. When these organizations transition from Notes to the Microsoft platform, they often need to also migrate from Lotus Sametime to Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 for UC and collaboration, in order to ensure a more direct and seamless transition with no loss in functionality or productivity. However, there are currently no native migration paths from Sametime to OCS.
Quest Migrator for Sametime simplifies migration from Sametime to OCS by providing a detailed pre-migration assessment, centralized project management, and automation of tasks. User contacts and settings are migrated with complete accuracy, saving end users from having to rebuild or reorganize their contact lists, which could take up to an average of 30 minutes per user. For a company with 10,000 users, they could save approximately 5,000 hours of productive time by using the tool.
