Why Migration Required?

People are addicted towards web based collaboration platform, addicted

towards Mobile, tablet etc.

People want to take advantages of Office applications

World is moving very fast but Lotus Notes is Idle now, No new Features added

Licensing factor, In SP no client license or software required.

Can not do Collaboration, Enterprise Search etc.

No Life cycle management: Unused databases unnecessary in the lotus notes

server, but in SharePoint it can not.
