Core offering

holistic-net develops and sells proprietary software tools and delivers professional services that enable enterprises to migrate from HCL Notes/Domino to Microsoft 365/Exchange and to manage the resulting hybrid or modern environments. The portfolio includes three core products—notes2html (HCL Notes archiving to HTML), hmwc (Microsoft 365 mail workflow automation via Graph API), and henc (enterprise newsletter center)—along with specialized tools such as ham (Notes application management), hob (Notes-Outlook bridge), and hmcc (migration control). Beyond software, the firm provides end-to-end mail and application migration services, custom application development on .NET Core and Angular, and ongoing Notes/Domino support for customers including Continental, Deutsche Bundesbank, and Generali.

Product overview

holistic-net GmbH offers a suite of IT tools for enterprise messaging and collaboration environments, specializing in HCL Notes/Domino to Microsoft platform migrations and ongoing administration. The portfolio consists of a unified platform approach with multiple specialized modules: core products include notes2html (HCL Notes archiving to HTML), hmwc (Microsoft 365 mail workflow automation), and henc (enterprise newsletter management); complemented by administration tools (ham for Notes application management, hagc for access/group checking, hds for design scanning, hdp for desktop process management); migration tools (hmcc for migration control, hgs for group synchronization, hob for Outlook bridge); and system administration tools (hplc for PowerShell execution). These products work both independently and in combination—particularly during Notes to Exchange migrations where ham, hmcc, hgs, hob, hds, and hagc are deployed together.
