The goal of Lotus Notes and Domino is to provide organizations with a flexible and COMPREHENSIVE collaboration solution. This includes… A Proven, relative infrastructure built on IBM Lotus Domino. It’s security-rich, highly available, and highly scalable. We have customers deploying hundreds of thousands of Lotus Notes seats. We value investment protection with simple upgrades and backwards compatibility. Plus, you have choice and flexibility in HW and SW operation systems to deploy in the environments that make the most sense to you. Collaboration in context: Context is a key differentiator for collaboration tools. Contextual collaboration allows you to access the tools and resources you need within the context of the task at hand – so you’re presented with the choices and information you need, when you need them. No more flipping between applications. Closing one application before opening another. Less copy & paste. Your workflow become seamless, uninterrupted. It just makes sense. And, it increases your effectiveness. The foundation of an effective collaboration solution, of course, includes e-mail, calendar and contact management. That is a given. The Lotus solution is intuitive, easy to use and feature rich. Version 8 included a major refresh to Lotus Notes UI, while keeping the familiar Lotus Notes format, to provide a modern, Web-like look & feel. Context sensitive toolbars, conversation threads and collaboration history help increase employee efficiency. Advanced collaborative capabilities include capabilities beyond email, and often included with Lotus Notes and Domino at no additional charge. They are plugged-in or integrated in context to provide you with additional tools to increase productivity and effectiveness. Such items include integrated instant messaging and presence awareness, a personal content library, productivity tools for document/spreadsheet and presentation creation, RSS feeds, and widgets to name a few. These tools help you think, and reach, outside of your inbox! Built on an open-standards based platform, Lotus Notes and Domino provides a fully extensible, rapid application development environment. Our customers have thousands of mission critical collab and business apps built on the Lotus Notes and Domino platform. Customers can also create and deploy composite applications, also called business mashups, that integrate content from multiple backend systems into a single, intuitive user interface. Universal access allows your employees to remain as productive as possible regardless of location. Rich client (Notes), browser (DWA), and mobile device (Traveler and BP solutions) client access support provides the flexibility employees need to connect wherever they are. Plus, replication support for offline access allows employees to remain productive even when disconnected.
When someone asks what you do for work, you're unlikely to respond, " I send and receive emails for a living." Unfortunately, it sometimes feels like that. Your Inbox represents a valuable flow of information. While you're in it, you are more valuable. The problem is that sending and receiving emails doesn't amount to a unit of work, in most cases. We have to leave the valuable information flow in order to "get work done". When we do this, we are "out of the loop" for a period of time. Further, we run the risk of becoming distracted, prolonging our absence from the information flow. Notes keeps you "in the flow" by bringing the information to you. We do this by including IM/presence awareness, Lotus Quickr personal content library integration, the Lotus Symphony Editors, sidebar plug-ins, RSS feeds, composite applications and widgets invoked from Live Text.
Our team of usability engineers spent two years, and over 2000 usability tests, to build the best, most-functional messaging interface on the market today. Users of Outlook, Google mail, and prior versions of Notes will find themselves instantly comfortable in the substantially-improved Notes 8 user experience. ----- Modern, intuitive, Web-like user interface with a rich set of capabilities and features. Coversation threads – group emails by thread or conversation, rather than individually. Hopes with inbox overload and management. Integrated IM in your inbox, as well as in each individual email. Allows you to follow up in context, when the necessity arises.
..and that team of usability engineers just keeps on going and going, and growing! We've added 50% more resource to that team since shipping Notes 8, to ensure that future versions of Notes continue to innovate and deliver best-in-class capabilities! ----- Intuitive user interface with a rich set of capabilities and features. Unanswered calendar entries – ghosted calendaring shows meeting invites, that you haven’t yet answered in gray, so that you can manage your calendar from your calendar, vs your inbox. Provides you with a total view. Integrated IM in calendar invitations.

Add more value to your Notes 8 user's productivity... why leave the Notes environment just to do a budget or build your presentation content? Continue to collaborate in context. Lotus Notes 8 includes Lotus Symphony productivity tools at no additional charge. They are integrated into the Lotus Notes client, but are also available via download on the Lotus Symphony site for use outside of Lotus Notes – at home, and at work, for your whole family.
