Lotus Notes to Microsoft 365 Migration in Derby
Moving Derby 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

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Lotus Notes to Microsoft 365 Migration in Derby — 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 Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
