Lotus Notes to SharePoint 2007 Migration

Case Studies

Chupa Chups, an iconic confectionary brand

The problem

Chupa Chups, founded in 1958, is one of the world's most popular confectionary brands.

Chupa Chups required a new portal to support business processes associated with manufacturing, distribution and management. Together we explored:

How can we migrate from the existing Lotus Notes platform?
What capabilities would better suit Chupa Chups?
How can we promote collaboration between 2000 employees?

Our solution

A collaborative portal using SharePoint 2007, utilising out-of-the-box features as much as possible.
Customisation according to Chupa Chups' business needs and corporate image.
A proof of concept was carried out to choose the best technologies to deploy inter-departmental applications, and a pilot was run before the full migration.
A versatile document management system with powerful document search and indexing capabilities.
Business processes involving senior managers are now driven successfully using customised workflows.
