Case Study: O-I Glass decommissions Lotus Notes at scale with SWING Software’s Seascape for Notes

O-I Glass decommissions 110 Domino servers and 10,000 databases with SWING Software

O-I Glass, a Fortune 500 glass packaging manufacturer, faced the significant challenge of decommissioning its legacy Lotus Notes and Domino platform, which consisted of 110 servers and approximately 10,000 databases. The company chose SWING Software and its Seascape for Notes product to archive this vast amount of historical application data as part of its four-year, gradual migration project.

SWING Software implemented its Seascape for Notes solution to archive the data, providing a web interface that preserved the original Lotus Notes user experience, including forms, views, and doclinks. The project was a success, reducing the number of active applications from 10,000 to less than 25 critical ones slated for a new platform. SWING's knowledgeable consultants archived the data into a single file share repository, ensuring the historical information remained accessible and easy to manage.
