What makes WebGate Cloud Systems different from its competitors?
Reference• Migrating the whole Order Management application and infrastructure from the old provider to a IBM
SoftLayer Private Cloud WebGate embraced • Analyzing the complex order management based on Notes and Web, IBM Domino Server, Tomcat
application Server, SQL-Databases and SAP-Data-Integration • Code review of hard coded server names, URLs and e-mail addresses and remediation
Migration of eight servers to the new Private Cloud in IBM SoftLayer Amsterdam, including bridging to the old network serving 90 sites
• Integrating connectors to SAP, MS SQL and FTP • Engineering of a new IBM Notes Client Package and rollout to the users to be migrated
In the very narrow timeframe of eight weeks only from signing the contract until full operations up and running - WebGate delivered an excellent quality - driven by an agile project management.

Reference Story Archroma
Oookeyyy!!??What about access?
What about hard coded server names?What about downsizing your infrastructure?
What about old / new users?What about interfaces?
Oh and yes, we need realtime live access to our On-Site SAP
Did we tell you, that we have credit card buying possibilities?
…and of course we completely forgot about our servers in
brazil!Without those, no truck will run
and deliver our goods..
t minus 2 weeks..You need to move some more “Non-Domino Servers” to SoftLayer!!• SHIFT4 Server (licensed by Archroma) --> Creditcard Approval and Transaction
Server• Tomcat Server with AGOP --> Archroma Global Operation Portal• WINSbroker --> Realtime Access to SAP• ecKnowledge Server --> Engine that connects SQL DBs with SAP and Notes
Apps• SQL Server incl FTP • BI Server (BOXI) --> Business Intelligence Server for reports / sales forecast /
Orders etc.• 2x Vyatta box (virtual Network Router and Firewall)
NullaWe did it!!
A total of 30+ Servers became 15 SoftLayer Servers15 employees of WebGate where involved
We had to use:• Engineering Knowhow (Domino, Java App Server, TCPIP)• Application Development Knowhow, Database and SQL• SoftLayer Knowhow• High Spirits!!!• Complete confidence in our people and skills!!!
Some QuoteS:• Commendations to you and your team. Please pass this on: The project was
excellently executed!
• The team and I here in the US can honestly say, this has been THE BEST MIGRATION EVER in our history with the company
• The migration result is impressive due to short notice and complexity of the tasks. I want to say "Thank you!" to all involved colleagues for the very good preparation and migration during the last weekend. I also want to congratulate WebGate Consulting AG and say thanks for the productive and pragmatic cooperation.
• Thank you all for the work well done. I appreciate everyone’s efforts and agree with Justin that this migration has gone very well. Thank you all again for your hard work and countless hours. It is greatly appreciated
• Great work!!!
• Well Done!!!

Ask or become an XPages Ninja Don’t talk about the Domino Server Talk about A Rock Solid JAVA Application Server
Better, more stable than Apache or Tomcat with a very rich feature set (ex. Encryption, User handling..)
If the customers has a Lotus / Domino Phase out Decision.. Talk instead about this great alternative => XWork
Server AND best of it, it is Domino compatible
WebGate’s unique methodology AUTOPWebGate’s unique methodology AUTOP
Analyze: We analyze the application’s logic that resides in the code an in the data
Understand: Together with the customer we write down, which current or new user stories shall be programmed in the iterations
Transform: The user stories are put into code within a new XPages frontend and we construct the business logic in the background
Operate: We assure the application’s operation
Perform: The applications is constantly being optimized. This from the user frontend all the way down to the data handling in the background
