PRODUCT REVIEW
Don't go it alone, use R5 Migration Pro
By Dan Velasco

Let me first say that I usually don't review a product unless I think there's a fair chance I'm going to like it or find it useful for my job. I just don't have the time to review things that might not be very useful to me, and I'm sure you don't have the time to read such reviews. Therefore, I'll say right at the beginning I wholeheartedly recommend that you buy R5 Migration Pro if you're planning to upgrade from R4 to R5. There's simply nothing else like it.

Do you want to make sure your migration from R4 to R5 goes as smoothly as possible? Do you want to minimize the risk of losing your reputation or even your job by botching said migration? Are you an application developer who wants to make sure your applications function correctly in R5? Do you want to use the knowledge of migration experts to help guide you every step of the way? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, please keep reading.

What is R5 Migration Pro?
In the simplest terms, R5 Migration Pro is a single R4 database packed full of all the information and tools you need in order to make your migration from R4 to R5 as smooth and successful as possible. If you've ever read Dr. Seuss' The Cat in The Hat Comes Back, then you'll know what I mean when I say that R5 Migration Pro is the "Voom" under Little Cat Z's hat. It will help get you past the mess of migrating from R4 to R5. (Did I mention that my office is also my kid's playroom where their books are?)

Let me get a little more serious and specific. Below is a sample of the different types of information the database contains.

  • Detailed step-by-step plans to help you upgrade your server infrastructure from R4 to R5;

  • Detailed procedures for testing and upgrading your applications to R5;

  • Documentation and presentations that will greatly assist you with coming up to speed on the changes R5 will bring to your organization;

  • Over 25 migration-related Knowledge Base documents you should read.

If this database were a book, its title would be Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Migration but Were Afraid to Ask.

R5 Migration Pro was developed by PureKnowHow, a division of Tactica Technology Group. It's based on real-world experiences in guiding some major corporations through the upgrade process. PureKnowHow has partnered with TeamStudio through their PartnerSource program to make R5 Migration Pro available to Domino professionals worldwide. You can purchase it by going to http://www.teamstudio.com. But I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
