Client Background

The client, a global financial services firm, decided to enhance operational efficiency by switching from Lotus Notes to Outlook. This migration aimed to improve compatibility and productivity across teams. However, during the process, they faced encryption-related challenges that disrupted the workflow and posed a risk of data loss.

Solution

To address the encryption issue, the SysInfo NSF to PST Converter tool was deployed. The client's problem stemmed from ACL-protected NSF files that were inaccessible due to local encryption. Our team guided the client in decrypting the database directly from their Lotus Notes account using these steps:

  • Navigate to File Menu > Security > User Security.
  • Under Notes Data, select Databases.
  • Choose Do Not Locally Encrypt and confirm with OK.

Once decrypted, the NSF files were seamlessly converted to PST format using the SysInfo tool. This ensured secure, complete data migration without manual intervention or risk of loss.

Results

The solution provided the following outcomes:

  • 100% data migration with no loss of email content or metadata.
  • Resolved encryption errors, enabling access to all NSF files.
  • Increased efficiency, completing the migration process in half the estimated time.
  • Enhanced reliability, allowing uninterrupted operations during the switch.
