Marketing asked me to come up with a Pain/Gain list for Notes Migrator for SharePoint.  Your feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Analysis & Classification

• Pain:  Many organizations don’t know what they have, what applications are really being used, or what has been customized.
• Gain:  NMSP includes a complete discovery, analysis and reporting tool that will classify your standard and customized applications.  This includes an extensive analysis of application usage, data complexity and design complexity.  It can even compare designs with the original templates.

Automation & Ease of Use

• Pain:  Organizations often know that many of their applications should be simple to migrate, but the sheer volume of them is daunting.
• Gain:  NMSP includes predefined data definitions for standard template-based applications and you can easily create your own for customized templates.  You can even automate the migration of many such Notes databases or QuickPlaces, including provisioning of entire SharePoint sites.

Data Fidelity

• Pain:  Many migration tools can’t handle complex data elements, resulting in significant loss of valuable business data.
• Gain:  NMSP migrates content with unmatched accuracy and attention to detail, ensuring that users find their rich text, doc links, embedded images, attachments, OLE objects, multi-valued items, user names, permissions, keyword fields, etc. are preserved.

Complex Custom Applications

• Pain:  Some environments have many complex applications that appear to be difficult and expensive to migrate.
• Gain:  NMSP helps you rebuild custom data schema on SharePoint to match what you had in Notes, as well as leverage advanced SharePoint features such as Content Types, InfoPath, Approval Processes, and Workflows.  It can also streamline the provisioning of sites and list using your custom-developed SharePoint templates.
