Approach to Migration

Composer offers a unique metric-driven approach to an application migration strategy.

Unify collaborates with customers to determine the number of Notes applications suited for migration in order to minimize the project costs and schedule. In order to deliver a fixed fee/fixed scope engagement, the Composer solution incorporates a metric-driven approach whereby customers are able to verify that the objectives defined as critical for the project are achieved. This process sets Unify apart from competitors as does our methodology of Analyze, Refine, Target (ART).

ART helps to determine the real cost of migrating the complex applications:

  • Analyze - discreet Notes application at the business logic and component level to facilitate intelligent and logical decisions for the most feature rich and cost effective migration.
  • Refine - identifies application attributes including forms, views, agents, etc. that may not require migration. Unify and the customer confirms which of those attributes are needed to meet the business requirements in the .NET platform. Only the code that is needed to preserve the business functionality is migrated resulting in a cleaner migration.
  • Target – the appropriate platform, either ASP.NET or SharePoint-Infopath for hosting the newly migrated Notes applications.

With Composer, this process is automated and performed for each application and is the reason Unify is able to deliver a fixed fee/fixed scope migration solution. Composer delivers:

Minimal Disruption – Composer delivers a like-for-like, production-to-production application that represents little to no changes for end users, minimized retraining and immediate end user adoption.

Rapid Platform Adoption – Composer enables enterprises to quickly adopt core applications on the modernized Microsoft platform, expediting the cost justification metrics. By enabling the rapid adoption of the Microsoft platform, organizations are able to accelerate the payback period and accelerate the benefits of the new platform.

Leverage, Extend & Optimize – Composer leverages past development investments to deliver a risk-free, production-ready application. By first adopting the new Microsoft platform, organizations are able to become familiar with the capabilities afforded them from the new platform and leverage those new features to extend and optimize the recomposed Notes application to better serve evolving business requirements.
