ServiceMigration of Lotus Notes Applications to Web Platforms
Thousands of organizations still run critical workflows inside IBM Lotus Notes and Domino — approvals, ticketing, HR records, document management, and shared mail databases. It works, but it's aging: desktop-bound, expensive to license, hard to integrate, and increasingly difficult to staff. We migrate Notes and Domino applications to modern web platforms: React on the front end, Node.js on the back end, and Tailwind for a clean, responsive interface.
What's included
- Notes/Domino Assessment & Roadmap: we inventory your NSF databases, views, agents, and workflows, then plan the migration in stages with zero downtime.
- React + Node.js + Tailwind Rebuild: your Notes forms and views recreated as fast, responsive web screens — accessible from any browser, any device.
- Notes Data, Mail & Workflow Migration: documents, attachments, mail archives, access lists, and approval chains carried over and verified.
- Parallel operation: Notes and the new platform run side by side during transition, so your team never stops working.
- Ongoing management: hosting, updates, backups, and monitoring.
Your Notes databases hold years of decisions and documents. The goal is to keep every one of them — and leave the desktop client behind.
Why move off Lotus Notes
- Anywhere access: a web app works on any computer, tablet, or phone — no Notes client installation.
- Lower costs: no per-user Notes/Domino licensing or expensive legacy hardware.
- Modern integration: your data becomes API-ready for payments, SMS, email, and reporting tools.
- Security & compliance: web platforms get continuous patches, SSO, and audited access.
- Future-proofing: React + Node.js has a deep talent pool and long-term support.
How it works
- 1. Assessment: we map databases, views, agents, mail, and business rules.
- 2. Roadmap: you approve a staged migration plan with clear milestones.
- 3. Rebuild: forms and workflows are rebuilt in React + Node.js, module by module.
- 4. Data migration & go-live: documents and mail verified, systems run in parallel, then you cut over.
- 5. Manage: hosting, monitoring, and updates.
Who it's for
Organizations running Notes/Domino for approvals, documents, mail, or custom applications — from mid-size businesses to government and non-profits — that need modern access without losing their history.
