Tropical Shipping - Lotus Notes Migration Case Study
Tropical Shipping provides containerized shipping services, cargo transfer, and other freight services. For many years, the company’s systems for enterprise messaging and related functions were based on IBM Lotus Domino and Notes. However, Tropical Shipping wanted to better integrate these systems into the company’s Active Directory®–based IT environment and to reduce Notes licensing expenses. In 2007, Tropical Shipping began deploying a comprehensive communication and collaboration solution with Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007 as its foundation. Although deployment is still in progress, the new solution is already supporting more streamlined IT management and more effective employee communication, resulting in improved productivity. It also provides a flexible, efficient path for migrating the company’s Notes applications in the near future.
