There is no comparison between how many organizations use Microsoft ® Exchange Server and how many use IBM ® Lotus Notes Domino because both these emailing environments are good and both get used very popularly by organizations, almost every organization use one among them. The choice of organization for server-based emailing environment depends upon their need and preferences and sometimes it happens that the organizations use both these environments, in their one branch they use IBM ® Lotus Notes Domino environment and in their other branch, they use Microsoft ® Exchange Server Outlook environment.

This article also discusses about the problems of organizations that use Lotus Notes Domino in their one branch and Exchange Server Outlook in their other branch. Suppose the organization wants to transfer some of its employees from its Lotus Notes Domino branch to Exchange Server Outlook branch, what it will do. No, it will not perform the entire database migration from server to server in that situation; actually, it will just Convert Lotus Notes Mailbox to Outlook ...
... Now, the question is how? – It will transfer employees with their mailboxes (.nsf files) to Exchange environment and use a software product to import NSF files into Microsoft ® Exchange Server.

Similar to this above discussed issue, if the organization wants to transfer some of its employees from Exchange Outlook branch to Lotus Notes Domino, it will transfer its employees with their mailboxes (.pst files) to Domino Server environment and use a third party software solution to import PST files into Domino Server.

Sometimes, the organizations that use Exchange Outlook emailing environment in one branch and Domino Lotus Notes emailing environment in other branch, also thinks of changing the emailing environment of one branch completely say from Domino Server Mailbox to Exchange or from Exchange Outlook to Lotus Notes Domino

Note- Here, the organization doesn’t want to transfer employees, it wants to change whole server based emailing environment.

So, in this situation, the organization will not perform user-mailbox migration from one branch to another because that would be time consuming, it will perform server to server database migration using third party migration software.

For all these above discussed issues, the organization doesn’t have to use different third party tools. One third party tool named Mailbox Migration Wizard 2010 can do them all. The organizations can perform NSF files Lotus Notes to Exchange Server migration with it, the organizations can perform Outlook PST to Domino Server migration with it, the organizations can perform Domino Server to Exchange Server mailbox migration and the organizations can also perform Exchange Server to Domino Server migration with it.
