Recently Vishwak migrated a leading Multinational Bank’s application from Lotus Notes to Microsoft SharePoint Forms Server 2007. The bank had hundreds of custom applications built and running over the years on Lotus Notes 4.x platform. One of them included a form based application used for Project Management. The Bank’s IT team was facing difficulties related to scalability and constant updates which were time consuming especially to test and deploy. They couldn’t move to newer versions (or) any other alternate client software, both of which required they install new software on the client machines and the bank has a new policy of no new software/framework install on clients. Therefore the only option was a server application that works with standard Web Browsers on the client. Vishwak’s team of SharePoint consultants worked on the situation and successfully migrated the application to Microsoft’s Forms Server 2007 (based on Microsoft SharePoint Technology) and Windows WorkFlow Foundation(.NET Framework 3.0).
