David Via,IBM Lotus Software GroupBusiness Unit Executive, Messaging and Collaboration Sales ● “What does that mean?” I am primarily responsible for sales of the Notes and Domino product family – Notes/Domino, Symphony, Alloy, Protector, Lotus Mobile Connect - worldwide. But Notes and Domino is just the beginning! ● Just presented at my 18th Lotusphere. (Yes, I have been to every single one.) ● Working with Notes since R2 in 1992! (Wow, I am old.) ● Perhaps most importantly: Ive only been at IBM for five years. (Before that I spent 13 years as a Lotus Business Partner sitting in the same seats that you are right now... ;) ● Follow/contact/link to me: Twitter - “davidvia”, LinkedIn - “http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidvia”, email - “dmvia@us.ibm.com”

Agenda● Domino Application Development Today – “not your Fathers Designer” – Advantages of Domino over Microsoft Sharepoint● Notes from the field – PSCs real world experiences● Domino Application Development Tomorrow - The IBM Social Business Framework

Lets talk about Domino applicationsbut not these Domino applications, please...

Designer 8.5 - a world-class RAD environment Business-process-driven applications that enable people to collect, organize, share, and track information.● Open, point and click GUI development environment.● Support for developers at every skill level – Lotus, Java, Eclipse● Bundled templates that require no coding to use● Component reusability saves time and increases responsiveness● Centralized administration for quick deployment and easy maintenance● Pervasive security● Universal access: online or offiline, Rich client or web client.● Integrate multiple data sources

Thousands of enterprises around the globe trust their corecollaborative and business applications to Lotus Notes and Domino. Notes Apps “by the numbers”: ● 280,000 active developers ● $45m investment by IBM since 2007 Discussion databases  Inventory and project management Community forums  Process tracking ● 10,000,000 applications Document storage and collaboration  Sales force automation in use Customer relationship management  Product catalogs and price lists Help desk and customer support  Billing systems ● 64,000 developers and Human resources  Audit and assessment 200 projects active in open source communityTodays Notes/Domino offers the easiest, fastest and richest development of Web 2.0 apps.

To this with xPages - Jacobs eLite 2.0

Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePoint● Claims heard about why one should move to Sharepoint – SharePoint could easily replace the Rapid Application development feature set of Lotus Notes – SharePoint is self service driven and therefore will need less development resources than a new Lotus Notes 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 and require 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 (Lotus Domino)

Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePointPlatform Capability Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePointMessaging Built in messaging Requires Exchange services tailored for applications.Data storage Data store is fully Data storage relies an integrated with the SQL server and platform and no unexpected additional additional cost cost must be consideredReplication Ability to have fine None grained control to replicate data over distributed server environment

Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePointApplication Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePointCapabilitySecuring access to Fine grained control at Very limited to nodocument data the doc field or section capability to hide/secure level data at this levelWorkflow Simple to complex Simple workflows can be workflow can be built in created in Sharepoint Designer using data, Designer. More complex security and messaging workflows require .Net servicesEvent model XPages and Notes forms Events tied to list actions provide robust event can be added but require model C#Offline access Industry leading ability to Limited offline support take data and business logic offline securely

RecommendationBring your Notes client applications to the Webwith Xpages● Preserves your investment in your current applications data and business logic while providing a 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 Mashup Center thru iWidgets
