The Costs
• Project Costs– Discovery & Assessment– Development of a portfolio strategy– Project planning
• For Each Application:-– Business Analysis (re-learning what
each application does)– Documentation (if not in compliance
with current requirements)– Data Migration (platform migration
only)– Development (average 200 hours per
application)– QA/UAT– Change Control & Deployment– Training/lost productivity

The Numbers
• Most organizations are surprised to learn how many Notes applications they have.
• An organization with 10,000+ Notes applications is not as uncommon as you might think

Total Modernization Cost
A large number (cost per app)
multiplied by
a large number (no. of apps)
results in
a VERY large number

The Risks
• Application Enhancement/Migration– Interruption to business
processes– Impact of bugs introduced into
application– Going over budget, over time,
or both– Not delivering all the needed
functionality
• Data Migration– Data conversion errors– All at once with no going back

Asymmetric Modernization
• Little or no changes to existing applications
• Combine code and data forensics to build a base level of understanding
• Deliver core capabilities and make these available to all applications
• Focus efforts on high impact customization
• Integrate feedback loops to identify the next areas of opportunity for making an impact.

Extend over Replace
• Existing applications work as they did before– Less risk– Less training– Less loss of productivity
• Eliminates expensive– Coding– Deployment– Training– Project Planning– Compliance costs

Combine Code and Data Forensics
• Code only shows what the application was designed to do
• Data provides insights into what the application is actually doing
• Over the years business logic accumulates. 80% of existing code may not be needed in the future. But which 80%?

For traditional modernization of a typical Notes application…
20% of functionality generate a positive ROIBut we cannot be sure which 20%.

Asymmetric Modernization…
• Allows ALL Notes applications to be modernized for little or no additional cost
• Focuses on functionality that delivers the greatest impact– Core capabilities delivered to all
applications– Customization focused on high impact
opportunities
• Minimizes unlocked potential in modernization of ALL applications
• Modernize only those features still needed– Lower cost– Lower risk (to other features)

Integrated Feedback
• Modern contexts can change the way applications are used. What was needed in the past may no longer be relevant in the future.
• The users of your applications can identify their pain points and provide guidance as to the importance of their needs.
• If the original applications exist in their established form the pressure to deliver capabilities in a modern context are reduced.
• The ability to participate in the process will often bond users to the applications as they evolve. It becomes less of an IT system and more of their system.
