Lots of exciting stuff going on in the HCL Technologies user and business partner community. Don’t believe me? Well, read this then! 

IBM Cloud for Notes and Connections

After almost radio silence for IBM Smart Cloud customers, they are now announcing new stuff almost weekly around what you should do if you are an IBM Smart Cloud customer. The latest is this site where you can join webinars giving you the rundown on how to move away from the cloud. The webinars will be downloadable as well. The list looks like this:

• November 7th: How to offboard Connections Cloud, Migration-as-a-Service
• November 12th: How to offboard SmartCloud Notes, SmartCloud Notes & Sametime Migration
• November 14th: Offboarding Archiving, Transitioning from Connections Compliance for Email
• November 19th: Migration & Conversion Tools, Transition from Connections Meetings Audio Cloud

Each session will include a Q &A.

These are hosted by IBM, and this is what IBM writes about them:

As you prepare for your migration off Connections Cloud, we will host a series of webinars focused on best practices for a successful migration.  The content in the webinars will be delivered by IBM and Business Partners who have tools you can use to complete your migration.  The link to join the webinar will be posted 24 hours in advance of the event. There is no registration required.  Replays will also be posted after the event.
