If you are planning to perform data migration from IBM Notes to Office 365, read this blog. It gives instructions on how to import NSF files to Office 365.

Notes to Office 365 Migration – Major Factors

Let us see the reasons as well as factors that compel users to move IBM Notes data to the Office 365 cloud location.

• Anywhere accessibility of Office 365 (web-based) while IBM Notes is a desktop application
• Higher overall (installation and maintenance) costs of IBM Notes (than of Office 365 plan subscriptions)
• Easy to learn and work with the interface of Office 365.
• More convenient data sharing on a cloud platform.
• Added services like SharePoint Online, Yammer, etc. in Office 365.
• More secure platform (Office 365) compared to IBM Notes.
• The large and easily scalable storage capacity of cloud platform.

While discussing the ways to import NSF files to Office 365, we have the manual solutions, but these are complex, lengthy, and prone to manual errors.

Kernel Office 365 Migrator for Lotus Notes - Migrate IBM Lotus Notes emails to office 365

Lotus Notes is quite difficult to use. So it is not suitable for novice and non-technical users. It is expensive, and cost of maintenance is also high. Users need to purchase it individually as it is a standalone application. So it is natural that many Lotus Notes users are eager to migrate to Office 365. Also, Office 365 provides more benefits and services than Lotus Notes.

For the users of IBM SmartCloud Notes, since HCL has taken over the collaborative products in IBM’s portfolio, it is going to end the Softlayer Infrastructure under which the SmartCloud Notes comes. So, SmartCloud Notes users also have to migrate to other cloud platforms like Office 365 ultimately. For migration, they can follow the same process as IBM Lotus Notes to Office 365 migration.

Kernel Office 365 Migrator for Lotus Notes - Lotus Notes Emails in Office 365 Cloud Environment

Set the database quota size and warning threshold when registering Lotus Notes user through Domino Administrator client:

• The database quota should be set considering the maximum size it can attain.
• The warning threshold should be set between 75-90% so that user can have adequate time to shrink the size of their Lotus Notes database.
• User can also change these settings after the creation of mail database through “Set Quotas” option under Database in Domino Administrator client.

Management of Lotus Notes Database File Size Limit When It Exceeds the Quota

Follow below discussed steps to manage the Lotus Notes database after quota exceed error has been received:

• Delete irrelevant emails: Unnecessary emails consume a lot of space. So, remove them permanently and make some room for new mails.
• Manage attachments: Download all the attachments from the mailbox and save them on some safe location. Thereafter, permanently delete the associated emails (if they are not important) to make space for new mails.
• Change automatic save settings for sent emails: By default, sent emails get saved automatically to the mailbox. To reduce the database size disable this setting and remove sent items.
• Archive rarely used documents and delete old Lotus Notes attributes: There are documents which are rarely used but are important in some or the other way. So, create archive for such emails and remove them from the main database. Also, remove old calendar entries, to do lists, notes, appointments etc. and generate space for new elements.
