Let’s take a look at how Three Thirds Collaboration<\/strong><\/a><\/span> used Connections to help migrate 100+ customers off the IBM cloud in 3 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did all this migration frenzy begin? When HCL bought Domino, Connections and the rest of IBM Collaboration, IBM decided that they will terminate the IBM SmartCloud \/ Connection Cloud, which led to a solution finding quest for its customers on those platforms at the time. Where to put all those accounts?<\/span><\/p>\n

HCL decided to choose global leaders as replacements, the first three selected being Prominic<\/strong>, Belsoft<\/strong> and ISW.<\/strong> The three of them united under the ThreeThirds umbrella and decided to take on this migration challenge together. Number one, because we already knew each other and, number two, because these three companies are located in US, EU, and Australia respectively,\u00a0 allowing for effective coverage around the entire world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This collaboration has its challenges, from time slots for meetings to combining 3 different styles of work and 3 different sets of expertise in order to offer customers a unified front and globally consistent solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
