Collaborative messaging

Migrate uses, not just messages.

Patrice’s journey at Reymann · Zimbra exchanges

The context

The need

Resumption of Zimbra messaging raises very concrete questions: calendars, delegations, shared resources and synchronization with calendar applications.

The role of Patrice

Monitor user needs, testing and stakeholder exchanges. A collaborative messaging must be verified beyond access to the webmail.

What the exchanges document

The exchanges document an ongoing migration and timing adjustments. Reserving resources in calendars is one of the uses mentioned.

What we remember

Prepare rights, calendars and devices from inventory. Work habits are a component of migration.

Understand and prepare

What this experience brings to the preparation of messaging.

This experience of Patrice Salib's journey with the Reymann teams emphasizes collaborative uses. When migrating, appointments, shares and devices must be prepared as carefully as message boxes.

The agenda is part of the service provided

Resource reservations, shared calendars, and delegations connect multiple people. When restarting, an accessible box is therefore not enough to validate operation. You must identify who creates the appointment, who can modify it and how it appears to the people concerned. These situations become test cases with users: invitation, modification, visibility of a resource and access from the intended devices.

Timing should be looked at in context

A usage can behave differently in the webmail and in a calendar application. The diagnosis brings together the device, the count, the action and the observed result. This comparison helps stakeholders to situate the problem. The synchronization adjustments encountered in this project highlight the value of a matrix of the intended devices and uses. It provides support for testing and allows for monitoring situations that still require intervention.

Elements useful for the next change

An inventory of collective accounts and addresses, a list of shares and pilot users prepare migration. The checks then cover the uses chosen, beyond the volume of messages taken. Monitoring distinguishes what is being tested, what is accepted and what still requires intervention. In a current project, Cloudlab prepares the hosting component and Agedis accompanies the accounts, posts and aircraft, according to the scope defined together.
