BUSINESS PARTNERS SPEAK OUT
Evaluating your Domino Document Manager (Domino.Doc) transition options
By Daniel Lieber
About this article
We continue our series about the end-of-life planning for Domino Document Manager, better known to most as Domino.Doc. Last week, document management specialist Scott Tomlinson helped us explore strategies for migrating to Domino-specific solutions. This week, we have another expert on tap, Daniel Lieber, who will look at not only Domino-based solutions, but solutions utilizing Quickr, migration tools, FileNet and more. Lieber helped write the upcoming IBM Redbook on Domino.Doc to Quickr migration and also was an author of the Quickr migration tool supplied by IBM.
As is always the case in our Business Partners Speak Out series, the opinions and recommendations of the articles' authors are not necessarily those of this magazine, ZATZ Publishing, or the United Federation of Planets. We bring you top experts and varied voices, and not all of them share the same views, perspectives, and strategies. All of them are interesting, and all are people we're thrilled to have had the chance to get to know.

Over the past several years, the future of Domino Document Manager (DDM), aka Domino.Doc, has been murky. In February, IBM announced the actual end-of-life for the product with standard support through September 30, 2012 and additional premium-paid support thereafter. There is no single replacement product for Domino Document Manager; thus, it is important to consider the options for your organization wisely while there is time to properly plan and execute the project.
IBM assembled a product management team to manage the transition for customers, continuing a tradition of not abandoning customers who have made investments in IBM technology. To provide better support to both IBM and customers, IBM assembled a global team of experts to create a Redbook on this topic. The Redbook is planned for publication in summer 2009 and I am a member of this Redbook team.
Customers and partners need to consider several elements as part of their internal transition project planning. This is not a project that should be given short thrift or cast aside as it will impact your organization and users.
Project planning priorities
A proper DDM transition plan will take into account several considerations for the success of the project within your organization. First, the purpose of having a document management system needs to be identified. From there, the needs of the organization should be evaluated as to the current reasons for continuing with the system and the business needs must be prioritized by function and importance.
