  • Part 3

    Results

    Upgrading to HCL Domino v14, STRABAG gained improved performance, a stable system, consistent end-user experience, and a platform that actively supports its IT roadmap and critical applications.

The Challenge

Before upgrading to HCL Domino v14, STRABAG’s environment included multiple older Domino versions that lacked current features, security updates, and optimizations needed for a hybrid IT landscape. Integration gaps with platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Active Directory affected performance, compliance, and operational efficiency.

In those legacy versions, maintaining the environment required substantial effort, including testing, troubleshooting, and validation across several platforms.

With the end of support for legacy versions approaching and regulatory expectations increasing, STRABAG’s IT leadership prioritized the move to a modern, fully supported release.
