Q&A: Microsoft Courts Lotus Switchers with New Migration Tools

Coinciding with the first day of Lotusphere...

Companies are making the switch to Microsoft’s unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) platform to help increase employee productivity, reduce IT costs and improve business processes. Microsoft and its industry partners are working to make the transition even easier. The release of an updated version of Microsoft Transporter Suite for IBM Lotus Domino along with powerful tools from Microsoft partners are easing the transition process for customers moving to Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server from IBM Lotus Notes and Domino.

PressPass caught up with Chris Capossela, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Business Division, to go behind the scenes and understand first hand what’s driving the transition and what is fueling this trend.

Peter, I was thinking maybe you'd give this MS announcement a gut-check, other than noticing the coincidence of Lotusphere.

It frankly doesn't mean much, as far as I'm concerned, other than reiterating Microsoft's intent to stay focused on competing with Notes; I don't see anything new in terms of migration tool feature/function/etc.
