David Via, IBM Lotus Software Group
Business 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. (My not-so-secret mission: Presenting Notes
  and Domino as a vital part of IBM's Social Business Strategy)
 In January I 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: I've 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... ;)

Adobe Flash can't run on Apple's iOS …

   "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. "

  –Advantages of Domino over Microsoft SharePoint


• Notes from the field – PSC's real world experiences


• Domino Application Development Tomorrow
  The IBM Social Business Toolkit
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 SharePoint

Recommendation
Bring your Notes client applications to the Web
 with XPages

•   Preserves your investment in your current application's 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

 PSC’s experience is that once a business application
  is put into use, it is rarely updated
  Minor   changes made to support business needs
  Themore line of business the app is, the less care it
  has gotten.
  Many companies using the same app since late 90s /
  early 2000s with NO changes.
  Have    you done an internal application audit?

•   PSC recommends Windows Workflow over SharePoint Workflow
    using SharePoint Designer due to it’s quality and support
•   iPhone development would be ASP.NET development talking to
    SharePoint Web Services
•   Security would use Active Directory Groups and function by
    applying Filters to parts of the Form
•   Data Export using Third Party tools would include documents, field
    data, and attachments
•   Master Page Estimate includes colors, corporate branding, logo,
    and simple menu changes

    Adobe Flash can'trun on Apple's 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.

    Reasons not tomove 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 tomove Notes apps to SharePoint Platform Capability Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePoint Built in messaging Requires Microsoft Messaging services tailored for Exchange applications.
