Why IBM Lotus software for open standards based application development

Lotus software application development tools deliver industry leading technology built upon open platforms and standards to help you build innovative, robust, scalable, security-rich and open standards based applications that empower your people, enhance productivity, and meet almost any business requirement.

Breakdown development barriers and organization silos

Compatibility between disparate software resources is improved when a common language is shared amongst them. Open standards represent openly documented interfaces or formats that have been accepted in the industry through either formal or de facto processes, and are freely available for adoption by the industry. Open standards are typically built by software engineers from various IT and software companies who collaborate under the auspices of organizations such as W3C, OASIS, OMA, and IETF.

Lotus software embraces and builds upon many open standards. This helps you combine collaboration tools and business applications for a more productive end user experience. You can also consolidate application development onto the Eclipse platform, an open source, pluggable environment that helps you reduce training expense while promoting reuse and sharing of IT artifacts for more efficient development.
