Even Great Looking Domino Web Apps Can Benefit from 8.5!

quot;XPage technology drastically reduces the time it takes
us to develop Domino applications. We no longer need
to spend time developing client side JavaScript/Ajax
code since many of things we built in this manner are
now core features of XPages. Additionally, the ability to
more easily leverage standard techniques like CSS
makes building a compelling user experience much
easier.quot;

Domino 8.5 – Simplify Notes identity management

 Notes ID files have been a key consideration in managing end-user
costs and administrator workload
 However, they have also been the key to Notes/Domino’s highly secure
reputation

 Shared login
– Notes users only need to remember a single password – their Windows password
– Addresses key customer concern regarding Notes end-user overhead

– Reduce costs and improve turnaround time for lost IDs, forgotten passwords
– Provides the ability to automatically reset Notes passwords, recover lost/damaged IDs

TCO

storage

applications
– Stored as files
• Allows for incremental backups

 Document compression
– Allow compression of Notes documents (also in 8.0.1)
 Disk space savings of 40 - 60%*
– Significant cost reduction (storage, backup, etc.)
*Savings may vary depending on use
