GSS Migration Toolkit 3.1 

GSS Migration Toolkit for Sun Java Communications Suite

Based on a successful line of migration tools software products, GSS Migration Toolkit for Sun Java Communications Suite is a complete migration and data conversion solution to move customers from IBM Lotus Notes and Domino to the Sun Java Communications Suite (Comms Suite).

Service providers building Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings using Sun Java Communications Suite to increase ARPU and reduce churn can now migrate business customers from Notes and Domino to hosted applications.  Migration is the key enabler for hosted e-mail and messaging, calendaring and collaboration SaaS. Using the GSS Migration Toolkit, service providers can now move business customers from on-premise Lotus Notes and Domino servers to SaaS offerings using Sun Java Communications Suite.

Software as a service (SaaS) service providers can use NSF2PST in-house to deliver migration services or deploy it in a customer-facing model to enable customer self migration to their hosted SaaS infrastructure.

Using the GSS Migration Toolkit, enterprises and service providers can move e-mail, directory, calendar and other information from Notes and Domino to Sun Java Communications Suite and enjoy benefits such as far lower total cost of ownership (TCO), vastly superior scalability, radical consolidation, and access to the latest Web 2.0 technology in the Sun Convergence client.
