Convert Lotus Notes Applications to J2EE |
We regret to inform you that there is no "magic button" in Lotus Notes called: "Port to J2EE". Despite a persistent push by IBM, very few Lotus Notes applications were ported to Websphere. Existing porting tools (from companies such as ToJava or Unify) deliver automation only proportionally to the simplicity of the source Lotus Notes applications. Under scrutinity, it is really services they are selling.
How do you accurately estimate the work? How do you prioritize the applications? How do manage the project? The answer is unbiased facts.
NotesToJ2EE collects information about the designs, their inherent complexity and combines it with estimates of the challenges each represents for a programmer "skilled in the trade". Down to every last line of code and design element property accross an entire Lotus Notes infrastructure. Automatically.
How? NotesToJ2EE uses the Atlantic Decisions, Inc. Angkor(tm) engine, an analytical discovery tool capable of processing a single or tens of thousands of Notes databases. Angkor has proven itself since 1999, helping large corporations around the world solve Y2K, UNIX ports, R6 upgrades and server consolidations.
NotesToJ2EE is a set of rules that embed Lotus' documented best practises, wisdom from the Notes and J2EE community and Atlantic Decisions' hands-on experience porting one of the most complex Notes application suite in the world. Notes2J2EE embeds knowledge about user interface, business logic and database repository discrepancies between Lotus Notes and J2EE.
What's next? Read our free J2EE primer to learn more about the technical challenges associated with a port. Read how our Angkor engine works.
NotesToJ2EE will provide the roadmap necessary to a) finally make a decision b) plan and manage the work c) dramatically reduce the project cost d) eliminate technical risks.
And that "magic button"? Atlantic Decisions, Inc. does not have and there is no sign of IBM getting any closer. Until then, NotesToJ2EE is your best option to proceed. |
