Evaluate
● Do a thorough investigation of the current state (starting point) and use tools to
facilitate data capture
● Server infrastructure (including baseline stats, performance, etc)
● Clients / workstations
● Applications
● 3rd party Products
● Document pre-existing conditions and problems
● Try to resolve outstanding issues and problems prior to upgrading
● No matter how tenuous the link, an upgrade can be held responsible for any
problem whether old or new
● Document things you want or need to address while you have the opportunity,
focus and resources available
● There is always cleanup that can be done ahead of time

Deployment Sequence
● This is the classic recommended
deployment sequence. This should
be used as a guiding principle while
taking other factors of your business
into account.
● Items 1-3, highlighted in yellow,
need to occur regardless of the
overall strategy and sequence of
server/client upgrades.
● Items 4-5, highlighted in red, can be
achieved in various ways.
● Items 6-9 are important steps to
take advantage of all of the new
features that Notes and Domino 8
