Lotus Notes has always made it easy to create complex applications that meet a variety of business needs. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any simple ways to figure out which of these applications are no longer being used.
Over time, this lack of understanding, coupled with the application growth that naturally follows, typically leads to overgrown, unwieldy Notes environments that become increasingly difficult to manage.
Full Service Description
Teamstudio's Application Usage Auditing service provides you with a clear picture of which of your current applications are unused or redundant. We'll also give you step-by-step recommendations for eliminating these superfluous applications and gaining control over your Lotus Notes environment.
Some of the utilities Teamstudio Professional Services employs during and Usage Audit are as follows:
- Catalog Scan – The Catalog Scan utility scans the domain catalog or all of your separate server’s catalogs and identifies applications not necessary to audit for usage. Some of the application we would recommend for elimination from a usage audit are Notes System Databases, templates, third party product databases, databases with no documents and database archives to name a few.
- Usage Auditing – Once an agreed upon list of databases is identified, our Usage Audit utility programmatically scans the server log for activity data and presents it in a variety of ways to help understand the specific usage of each database to meet project requirements.
- Secure Trac – With Extra Comm's Secure Trac product we can also track usage in real time to help you meet your business critical audit requirements.
Some or all of these solutions provide clear one time or on-going direction on what applications can be archived with no business repercussions.
