ABOUT THE CUSTOMER

Trumbull Corporation – Heavy Highway Construction Across the USA

Trumbull Corporation is a USA-based heavy highway construction company operating across multiple domains. Like many organizations, they relied on HCL Domino as their core email and collaboration platform for years. As part of a modernization initiative, the company undertook a migration to Microsoft 365 to benefit from cloud-based productivity and enhanced collaboration tools.

CHALLENGE & BACKGROUND

Failed Migration, Missing Calendars – and a Search for a Reliable Solution

Trumbull Corporation initially attempted the migration using a different tool, but significant issues emerged. Critical calendar entries failed to migrate correctly, posing serious operational risks. Email structures in Microsoft 365 did not match their original layout in Domino, leaving users frustrated and productivity at risk.

PROBLEMS BEFORE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SOLUTION
  • Critical calendar entries failed to migrate
  • Email structures did not mirror original Domino layout
  • Data accuracy issues with the initial migration tool
  • Operational risk from missing historical records
  • Full and accurate calendar migration
  • Email structures mirroring original Domino layout
  • On-premises installation for internal control
  • Expert support despite transatlantic time zone difference

 

THE SOLUTION

BCC Migration Engine: Accuracy, Flexibility and Expert Knowledge Transfer

After reaching out to BCC, Trumbull Corporation requested a trial migration using BCC's Migration-as-a-Service (MaaS). The results were immediate and decisive: all previously missing calendar entries were correctly migrated, and email structures in Exchange precisely mirrored their original form in Domino.

Encouraged by the trial, Trumbull Corporation made the strategic decision to fully transition to BCC's Migration Engine, opting for an on-premises installation. This gave the internal IT team full control over the migration process while benefiting from BCC's deep expertise.

BCC provided comprehensive training and knowledge transfer sessions, equipping Trumbull's IT team to conduct migrations independently. Despite the time zone gap between the USA (EST) and BCC (CET), the collaboration was seamless and disruption-free throughout.

 

"If you are planning to migrate away from HCL Notes, the only tool you should consider is Migration Engine from BCC."
