Give Applications a new Homeaka

Example of a successful onboarding COUNTDOWN

(Archroma Case)

Customer & IBM approach WebGate!

Small thing to do. Please move 200+ Databases to the cloud.

CIO’s impression!

Make a backup here..Put the backup there..

Finish and “klar”Piece of cake!!

Oookeyyy!!??What about access?

What about hard coded server names?What about downsizing your infrastructure?

What about old / new users?What about interfaces?

What is the timeframe?

t minus 7 weeks!!!= End of August 2014

Accepts the challenge!

But then…

Oh and yes, we need realtime live access to our On-Site SAP

Did we tell you, that we have credit card buying possibilities?

…and of course we completely forgot about our servers in

brazil!Without those, no truck will run

and deliver our goods..

t minus 2 weeks..You need to move some more “Non-Domino Servers” to SoftLayer!!• SHIFT4 Server (licensed by Archroma) --> Creditcard Approval and Transaction

Server• Tomcat Server with AGOP --> Archroma Global Operation Portal• WINSbroker --> Realtime Access to SAP• ecKnowledge Server --> Engine that connects SQL DBs with SAP and Notes

Apps• SQL Server incl FTP • BI Server (BOXI) --> Business Intelligence Server for reports / sales forecast /

Orders etc.• 2x Vyatta box (virtual Network Router and Firewall)

I admit > slight attacks of panic!

03. Sept., 2014 IBM Confidential

But all you need is “love” and great Team!!

NullaWe did it!!

A total of 30+ Servers became 15 SoftLayer Servers15 employees of WebGate where involved

We had to use:• Engineering Knowhow (Domino, Java App Server, TCPIP)• Application Development Knowhow, Database and SQL• SoftLayer Knowhow• High Spirits!!!• Complete confidence in our people and skills!!!

Some QuoteS:• Commendations to you and your team. Please pass this on: The project was

excellently executed!

• The team and I here in the US can honestly say, this has been THE BEST MIGRATION EVER in our history with the company

• The migration result is impressive due to short notice and complexity of the tasks. I want to say "Thank you!" to all involved colleagues for the very good preparation and migration during the last weekend. I also want to congratulate WebGate Consulting AG and say thanks for the productive and pragmatic cooperation.

• Thank you all for the work well done. I appreciate everyone’s efforts and agree with Justin that this migration has gone very well. Thank you all again for your hard work and countless hours. It is greatly appreciated

WebGate AUTOP Methodology

Pre-requirementsPre-requirements

Identify “Pearls!” Heavy used Applications High value data

Talk with the business Understand the business

Pre-requirementsPre-requirements

Ask or become an XPages Ninja Don’t talk about the Domino Server Talk about A Rock Solid JAVA Application Server

Better, more stable than Apache or Tomcat with a very rich feature set (ex. Encryption, User handling..)

If the customers has a Lotus / Domino Phase out Decision.. Talk instead about this great alternative => XWork

Server AND best of it, it is Domino compatible

WebGate’s unique methodology AUTOPWebGate’s unique methodology AUTOP

Analyze: We analyze the application’s logic that resides in the code an in the data

Understand: Together with the customer we write down, which current or new user stories shall be programmed in the iterations

Transform: The user stories are put into code within a new XPages frontend and we construct the business logic in the background

Operate: We assure the application’s operation

Perform: The applications is constantly being optimized. This from the user frontend all the way down to the data handling in the background
