John Beck, SaaS Sales LeaderIBM Collaboration Solutions■ No, I am not very talented at basketball (thats why I have a job at IBM!).■ “Who am I?” I am responsible for sales of IBMs messaging and collaboration capabilities delivered through the cloud in a Software as a Service model. ─ Previously, I have held product management, development and support roles within IBM all focused on the IBM Collaboration Solutions portfolio.■ Working with Notes since R3 in 1995 and managed production Domino environment on NT Alpha (really!?!).■ Recently moved my family to Wisconsin from Massachusetts (yes it is colder).■ “Why am I here?” As companies transition to the cloud, they realize the incredible value that Domino applications have to their business and processes. They are also looking to shift that investment to new access modes and transform their end user computing environments.■ Follow/contact/link to me: Phone - +1 508.414.0734 Twitter - “jhnbck” LinkedIn - “http://www.linkedin.com/pub/john-beck/0/a46/214a” E-mail - “john_beck@us.ibm.com” | © 2012 IBM Corporation

Adobe Flash cant run on Apple iOS … … but Domino applications can! ■ "XPages have allowed me to deliver classic Notes database applications to the iPhone without having to change the template. I can simply create one database with an X-page, and it will connect to the database that is appropriate for the particular user - even if the other database is on different server. " ■ Mark Hughes – HughesConnect.com ■ (Developer of ITANA task management solution) | © 2012 IBM Corporation

IBM Lotus Domino Mobile Applications■ Today: Web browser mobile apps ─ Supported via XPages in IBM Lotus Domino Designer ─ Mobile controls - see http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org/■ Domino Designer 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 ─ New tools for XPages Extension Library – New mobile controls ─ Domino REST services ─ Available now! ─ OpenNTF version continues to evolve http://extlib.openntf.org/ | © 2012 IBM Corporation

Domino is a Premiere application platform■ Claims heard about why one should move to SharePoint ─ SharePoint could easily replace the Rapid Application Development feature set of Notes/Domino ─ SharePoint is self service driven and therefore will need less development resources than a new Notes/Domino environment■ While in reality ─ What most consider to be simple Notes client applications often require moderate to significant development effort that cannot be done with SharePoint Designer, instead requiring Visual Studio and .Net development skills ─ Complex applications with business logic and workflow are not suitable for SharePoint and require .Net development and additional Microsoft products to provide the same level of capability you get in one product (Notes/Domino) | © 2012 IBM Corporation

What To Do With What You Already HaveBring your Notes/Domino client applications to the Web with XPages!■ Preserves your investment in your current applications data and business logic while providing a modern Web 2.0 developer experience■ Provides browser and mobile access and still allows you to take that application securely offline with all application logic available using the Notes client■ Expands the reach of your Domino applications to other IBM platforms like WebSphere Portal and IBM Connections thru iWidgets | © 2012 IBM Corporation
