Migration for Lotus Notes to KACE 1000 Asset Management
My organization recently acquired a K1000 and are primarily using it as our Help Desk ticketing system. However, we do want to expand its use and include software asset management. Instead of re-entering our extensive software library into KACE, manually, I am curious if we can just import from our existing Lotus Notes inventory.
Does anyone have any experience migrating from Lotus Notes to K1000? I am assuming it will involve CSV files, but I am curious as how accurate and robust this transition would be. Thank you all, in advance.

Exporting the database from Lotus Notes as a CSV file, then using the KACE importing tool, works wonders. The only hard part was generating the necessary fields in the new asset (not that hard).
How accurate it is is based on how clean your data is. The KBOX isn't validating your information when you import it. It is either entering it into a text box or one of the options available when you build your tables out.
If you haven't had a chance there are some tutorial videos that can give you an idea of the Assets module.

The tutorial link worked perfect and I now completely understand what I must do.
If I understand the process properly, if I need to make wide sweeping changes to my inventory, I should probably do it before I import my CSV file. Is that correct? - Big_Rope 10 years ago
