Why Lotus Notes Mailboxes Need a Migration Tool

Four facts about moving Notes data and how PCVITA software answers them.

  1. 1

    Planning Tools Only Measure

    Microsoft points to its MONTI application for assessment. It reports database size and document counts. PCVITA software moves the data.

  2. 2

    NSF Files Need User Mapping

    Every NSF file belongs to a user. PCVITA software maps every source user to a Microsoft 365 account with Fetch or Import.

  3. 3

    Big Mailbox Counts Need Batches

    Hundreds of mailboxes waste time one by one. PCVITA software handles 40 users in parallel.

  4. 4

    Failed Items Need a Second Pass

    Technical glitches skip some items. PCVITA software retries them without a full restart.

Prepare Before You Migrate Lotus Notes Data

Six checks before your first migration. Tick the boxes in order, then open the software.

  1. Create the destination users in your Microsoft 365 admin account first.
  2. Create a Console Project in Microsoft 365 and copy the Application ID.
  3. Arrange the NSF folders so every user has a sub folder named after the source email. Add an NSFUserMapping.csv file beside them.
  4. Install Lotus Notes on the PC. Version 12 (64 bit) or above must be configured.
  5. Keep the UserID file ready for password protected NSF files.
  6. Test the free demo with 2 users before you pay. Download the demo edition and check the result in Microsoft 365.

Our organization was looking to perform HCL Domino to Office 365 migration due to its complicated user interface. After some research, I got this software. I first used the demo version of it and after using it, I was amazed that the complete migration process is so easy to execute. Thanks to the developers!

John Halston, France

We had so many Lotus Notes files which we decided to move to O365 platform. The size of mailbox was large too, therefore we were looking for a solution using which we could perform the conversion conveniently. But, this IBM Notes to Office 365 converter made the entire process really efficient and we exported all our mailbox data with ease.

Sophia Bennett, Utah

We were in a complicated situation when our technical manager gave the responsibility to transfer NSF files to Office 365. Then, one of our colleagues suggested us to try this Lotus Notes to Office 365 migration software. And, after using this tool, we realised that the export process is not that difficult. The entire task was completed in countable minutes.
