The Good News We have entered the “Industrial Revolution” period of the Integration Era In the “Medieval Times” DDE with Ami Pro NotesSQL was used to get even the most basic of data OLE embedding Notes F/X | © 2012 IBM Corporation

The Good News (continued) The Renaissance brought us new tools OLE automation COM automation And much more The Revolution brings us major changes A true competitor to Office in Lotus Symphony Visual Studio.NET 2010 and VSTO 4.0 Code begins to move from inside a document to complete applications XPages brings modern web development to Notes/Domino Enterprise Collaboration morphs into Social Business | © 2012 IBM Corporation

Integration in a Social Business World■ The comfortable world we live in is slowing going away■ Social Business = web■ Web != Automation Support ─ No COM■ Move to new devices ─ From desktops to laptops to tablets ─ Tablets do not support local APIs for applications■ What this means ─ Need to move as much of the integration processing to the server ─ Need new tools and new methods ─ Both methods needed for many years | © 2012 IBM Corporation
