LTECH EXPANDS LOTUS NOTES MIGRATION PRACTICE TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN ITS ENTERPRISE CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES OFFERING

Fri, 28 May 2010 20:31:01 +0000

BRIDGEWATER, NJ - May 28, 2010 - LTech (www.ltech.com), a leader in enterprise cloud computing products and services, today announced the formation of a dedicated Lotus Notes migration practice. The practice will focus on migrating enterprise customers from Lotus Notes and Domino clients to Google Apps.

As part of the expansion, LTech has hired Bryan Rygiel as a Google Apps Deployment Engineer. Rygiel brings Lotus Notes/Domino certifications and experience supporting large-scale, enterprise Lotus Notes environments at numerous corporations, including AT&T, Ernst & Young, Chase Manhattan Bank, Hoffman-LaRoche, and most recently, BASF. He recently completed a migration of 1,200 high-profile users from a Windows Domino server to Domino on AIX.

"With demand for enterprise cloud computing products and services on the rise we have been receiving a growing number of requests from clients exploring the move away from Lotus Notes," said Ed Laczyski, founder and CTO of LTech. "It is important that we offer our customers the same quality service and experience regardless of what platform they are migrating from."

LTech has been building relationships with product partners to deliver a blended solution of services and products that will streamline the migration from Lotus Notes to Google Apps. One of the product partners is Tungle, which allows for cross-platform scheduling.

"One of the greatest things about Tungle.me is that it works across platforms. That means, whether you're a Lotus Notes user, a Google Calendar user, an Outlook user or a Mac user, you can easily schedule meetings with others, regardless of the platform the other person is using," said Marc Gingras, Tungle CEO and Founder. "For organizations where some employees may be on Notes, and others on different platforms, Tungle.me allows them to share schedules across those platforms, making their meeting planning that much more efficient."
