NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Binary Tree today announced a strategic alliance to deploy its software for Microsoft led migrations for IBM/Lotus Notes customers to Microsoft Exchange Online, part of its Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS).  As Microsoft's preferred vendor, Binary Tree's technology and methodology will be leveraged to transition messaging and calendaring data for legacy IBM/Lotus Notes customers.  

"We have decided to use Binary Tree tools to migrate Lotus Notes customers to the Microsoft cloud," said David Scult, general manager for Microsoft Online Services.  "We've chosen Binary Tree because their tools provide a full-featured set of capabilities to transition customer data.  This includes coexistence between the platforms, a must-have for large enterprises that need to ensure business continuity as they migrate their people in phases."

As part of the alliance, the two companies have committed to greater interoperability and service delivery to address key customer requirements including application and calendaring coexistence, plus content migration through the powerful combination of Microsoft's hosted infrastructure with Binary Tree's migration/coexistence solutions and consultancy.  By choosing Binary Tree for Microsoft led migrations, customers will benefit from a more seamless and efficient transition that will help ensure a positive user experience.
