Proven HCL Notes to PostgreSQL Migrations by Senior Engineers
We convert HCL Notes (Domino) databases into clean, relational PostgreSQL tables. The process is structured: parse dynamic schemas, normalize multi-value fields, preserve embedded attachments—then deliver
The lowest-cost way off HCL Notes: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support HCL Notes → PostgreSQL after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project. No overruns.
- ✓Senior engineers. 15+ years mean experience.
- ✓Dynamic Lotus schema parsed into relational PostgreSQL tables.
- ✓Binary attachments and multi-value fields migrated intact.
- ✓Vendor support stays active on legacy platform during move.
- ✓24/7 US-based support before, during, and post-migration.
Trapped in Domino schemas
Your HCL Notes databases hold critical records—but their document-centric, nested schema design blocks modern analytics and app development. Your teams need PostgreSQL access, not semi-structured NSF files.
Embedded attachments block extraction
Rich text fields hide binary attachments and complex formatting. Standard ETL tools choke on them. Your databases remain locked while you pay annual HCL licensing fees.
Multi-value fields break relational mapping
Legacy multi-value fields (comma or semicolon delimited lists) lack relational integrity. Converting them without corruption requires specialized parsing—not off-the-shelf migration scripts.
HCL Notes → PostgreSQL migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate HCL Notes to PostgreSQL when the schemas have no predefined keys?+
Yes—we do this daily. Our engineers parse document-centric Notes schemas, including nested fields, rich text with attachments, and multi-value lists, and translate them into clean relational PostgreSQL tables. Data relationships and validation rules are preserved.
What is the typical timeline and budget for a Domino to PostgreSQL migration?+
We offer a fixed scope. Timeline ranges from 4-8 months with 2-5 senior consultants. Budget is $60,000–$800,000 depending on database size and complexity. No hidden costs.
Will I lose vendor support if I start migrating to PostgreSQL?+
Your existing HCL Notes vendor contract remains active during the migration. You move on your timeline—no forced cutover. If your renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform while you complete the move. It is not vendor support and does not include vendor patches.
Is this migration suitable for public sector or healthcare organizations?+
Yes. Agencies need to retain long-term databases but shed licensing costs. Our migration enables modern BI tools to query legacy Domino data via PostgreSQL, and your app dev teams get a relational database they can work with. All without commercial database license fees.
