Check your email. Answer that IM. Switch apps, switch browser windows, check your calendar…and it’s time to check your email again. Collaboration tools are becoming increasingly important to your business. But when they can’t deliver the efficiency or the information you need, they can be a drain on your I.T. staff—and a time sink for your end users.

Lotus Notes and Domino 8 offer a full range of collaboration tools—from IM and email to calendaring, team rooms, blogs, file sharing and development environments. They’re fully integrated, easy to use and easy to maintain. So the tools that help you work together, can also help you work smarter.
