A day in the life
Daniel is Chief Information Officer for ABC Inc., a medium sized manufacturing firm. In his highly competitive industry, Daniel's job is to find ways to leverage information technology to help his business streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve responsiveness and decision making. ABC utilizes many different host systems, data sources, and desktop applications. These resources were isolated together based on the business unit they served, for example, human resources, sales.
Increasingly, users demanded greater integration and data sharing across system silos to help streamline their tasks. They demanded applications that were easier to use and adapted to the way they worked. They also demanded faster time to market for new application capabilities to support the rapidly changing global business environment. Daniel needed a single, easy to use desktop environment that could integrate diverse environments and enable rapid development. He needed to leverage his team's existing skill base. He needed Lotus Notes and Domino 8 software.
Lotus Notes and Domino 8 software supports multiple technology strategies and languages, including traditional Lotus Notes applications, Web, Eclipse-based components, host-based systems, and desktop applications. Daniel's developers can use templates to create new applications without writing code. They can rapidly develop applications with custom business logic, workflow, and user interface components in many different languages. Integration Lotus Notes 8 software is based on the open Eclipse platform. Now Daniel's team can also can create a new breed of situational business mashups that combine content from virtually any IT resource into a new, integrated interface for the user with little to no coding. Composite applications are made up of components that can be reused within other contexts, for example, a rich Web 2.0 experience. Daniel can now add new value to enterprise applications and significantly reduce development time for new functionality. And new and updated applications can be centrally deployed from the Lotus Domino server for fast delivery to end users.
Today, ABC users are happy because they get the tools they need more quickly. Daniel's developers are happy because they get to use the latest skills. And Daniel is happy because everyone else is happy.
