- The Application Transformation Framework Provides a Consolidated Management Dashboard and an Integrated Suite of Software for Controlling the Process of Moving Applications to SharePoint

Binary Tree, a leading provider of software solutions for migrating to Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint, announced today the Application Transformation Framework (ATF) that integrates process with technology to dramatically improve the success of moving applications to Microsoft SharePoint.  The Application Transformation Framework enables project teams to holistically manage and control the transformation process including the analysis and migration of standard applications, the rationalization and transformation of complex applications, and the consolidation and retirement of the legacy application platform.

"The market is littered with point solutions that each address a small part of the challenge of moving applications to SharePoint," stated Tim Reiter, Product Manager, Application Transformation Strategy at Binary Tree.  "We asked our customers and partners what they really needed to be successful to transform applications to SharePoint and SharePoint Online from Lotus Notes and legacy versions of SharePoint.  The common refrain was for a centrally controlled and integrated suite of software solutions that map to each phase of the transformation.  So we designed and developed the Application Transformation Framework to meet those demands."

The Application Transformation Framework provides an integrated architecture that consists of a consolidated management dashboard that controls an integrated suite of application analysis, migration, and consolidation software that in turn all share common components, rules, services and a SQL repository.  The current ATF software components support transformations of applications from Lotus Notes to Microsoft SharePoint and include CMT Inspector, CMT for SharePoint and Domino Consolidator.  Future ATF software solution sets will support transformations of applications from SharePoint on-premises to SharePoint Online, as well as SharePoint analysis, upgrades, consolidations, and the management of hybrid on-premises/online SharePoint environments.

"ATF is a guiding methodology when migrating from Lotus Notes applications to Microsoft SharePoint," stated Anthony Tancredi, Director of Technology Management Consulting, Diamond Technologies, Inc.  "This is not just a data migration tool. This is a well thought out solution framework that provided comfort with regard to risk mitigation, budget estimation, transition planning of Notes simple / complex applications and overall transition management.  Having an analysis tool that assists with redevelopment estimation and preferred target migration decision-making is what has been missing from other market vendor tools.  Binary Tree has streamlined the transition process and removed the guesswork.  ATF is our solution choice for all future transition engagements in regards to application transition to Microsoft."
