Why Power Automate is the Best Choice When Migrating?

1

Modern and User-Friendly Interface

Power Automate’s intuitive low-code interface allows employees to build and manage workflows without relying on IT. In contrast, Lotus Notes depends on custom scripting and technical resources. Power Automate empowers business users to take control of automation, which reduces training time and accelerates adoption across departments.

2

Seamless Integration Across Platforms

With over 300 built-in connectors, Power Automate integrates directly with Microsoft 365, Azure, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and more. This makes it easy to automate tasks across your existing tools. Lotus Notes struggles in this area and often requires custom-built integrations and manual workarounds. 

3

Scalable by Design

Power Automate runs on Microsoft Azure and offers built-in scalability and resilience for organizations of any size. Whether automating a single department or your entire enterprise, Power Automate adapts to your needs without the infrastructure limits that come with Lotus Notes.

4

Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) 

Licensing for Lotus Notes can be expensive, and managing the platform requires niche technical expertise. Power Automate offers flexible, cost-effective pricing, often bundled with Microsoft 365, and eliminates the need for ongoing infrastructure maintenance. 

Real pain isn’t the Decision, it’s the Migration

Modernizing your systems often feels like the right move—but the uncertainty around migration can make it hard to take the next step. These are the concerns we hear most often, and how we help organizations move past them with confidence. 

1. Custom Actions & Logic

Many organizations have spent years building workflows in Lotus Notes using Lotus Script, agents, and custom logic. There’s uncertainty about whether Power Automate can replicate that level of complexity.

2. Complex Data Structures 

Lotus Notes databases often include XML structures, nested fields, and custom formats. Teams are concerned that migrating this data will lead to loss, duplication, or downtime. 

Our Solution

We use structured ETL pipelines to extract, transform, and load your data into modern platforms like Dataverse or SharePoint. Every field is carefully mapped and validated to preserve data integrity and usability. 

3. Long Migration Timeline 

Without a single migration tool for Lotus Notes, teams often anticipate a long, disruptive transition that will slow down business operations. 

Our Solution

We implement a phased migration strategy. By focusing on high-impact workflows first and using repeatable frameworks, we reduce total effort and deliver faster without compromising business continuity. 

4. Training & Adoption Gaps 

Teams using Lotus Notes may be resistant to change, especially when facing a new interface and workflow experience.  

Our Solution

We provide hands-on training, role-specific onboarding, and real use-case demonstrations. This ensures users understand the value quickly and feel confident navigating the Power Platform from day one.
