Lotus Notes to Microsoft 365 Migration in Bristol
Moving Bristol organisations from Lotus Notes to Microsoft 365, where the mail is the straightforward part. Domino databases hold dozens of small applications built by departments over decades — approvals, registers, request forms — and each one is a system somebody still uses that has no destination unless it is given one.
Why this comes up
The problem
Forty Notes databases hold departmental applications, and the migration plan covers only mail and calendars.
What you get
What we deliver
- Notes applications inventoried, since these are the actual scope of the work
- Each application assessed for whether it is used before anything is rebuilt
- Destinations chosen per application, from SharePoint lists to a proper rebuild
- Mail, calendars and contacts migrated with a tested cutover
- Doclinks addressed, because references between databases break on the move
- Retention and archive requirements settled, as Notes stores go back decades

Lotus Notes to Microsoft 365 Migration in Bristol — common questions
- Why are the applications the real project?
- Because Notes made building them easy. Departments created their own registers, approval forms and trackers without involving IT, so an estate accumulates dozens — and each is a working system for whoever depends on it, however unofficial its origins.
- Do they all need rebuilding?
- Rarely. An honest inventory usually finds a third genuinely in use, a third replaced by something else years ago and a third nobody has opened in a decade — so establishing usage before scoping is what makes the project affordable.
- Where do the surviving applications go?
- It varies by complexity. Simple registers become SharePoint lists, workflow-driven ones suit the Power Platform, and a few justify proper development — matching each to the lightest option that works keeps the programme from becoming a rebuild of everything.
- What about archived mail and documents?
- It needs a retention decision rather than a bulk transfer. Notes estates hold decades of correspondence, and migrating all of it costs real money to store and search — so agreeing what must be kept, for how long and in what form is worth settling with whoever owns your retention policy first.
- Do you work with businesses across Bristol?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Bristol and the surrounding Bristol area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Bristol businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering-grade requirements from aerospace clients, and brand-led digital work from the creative and environmental sectors. Beyond that we work across Aerospace, Creative & Media, Technology, Financial Services and Environmental.
- Do you cover the areas around Bristol?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Cardiff, Bath, Southampton. Bristol is an urban area of roughly 700,000+, and we take on work across the wider Bristol region rather than the city boundary alone.
