Binary Tree Branches out Big with Microsoft

ew York-based Binary Tree started in 1993 helping businesses migrate to Lotus
Notes. Ten years ago, its customers started requesting solutions for migrating to
NMicrosoft. Driven by market demand and supported by a solid Microsoft product
offering and partner ecosystem, Binary Tree evolved into a platform agnostic software
company and developed new solutions for providing migrations to Microsoft. Today, with
thousands of customers and millions of users migrated, Binary Tree’s decision has yielded
impressive returns:

More than half of its annual revenue comes from Microsoft platform migrations.
Situation

A Turning Tide of Customers When Binary Tree opened its doors in 1993, it helped companies
migrate to Lotus Notes. By 1999, Binary Tree was noticing a new trend in the migration
market—an increase in demand for migrations to Microsoft. Some of Binary Tree’s former
customers who originally migrated to Lotus Notes were now pounding on Binary Tree’s doors
to demand a complete overhaul to the Microsoft solution. “Those requests kept escalating
until they reached a point where it was obvious that this was a big opportunity for us,” said
Steven Pivnik, CEO of Binary Tree. “We’ve learned to listen to our customers and there are
a number of reasons why they want to migrate to the Microsoft platform. Many of them cite
that the Microsoft platform is maturing substantially and that they are looking for reduced
costs, better productivity, and lower costs of ownership.”

Questions:
1. Give the application of Binary Tree.
2. Explain the tree concept in term of simple accessing data.
