David Via,IBM Lotus Software GroupBusiness 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. But Notes and Domino is just the beginning!

• Just 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... ;)

Agenda

Domino Applicat ion Development Today – “not your Father 's Designer ”

• Advantages of Domino over Microsoft Sharepoint



Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePoint

Claims hear d about why one should move to Shar epoint• Shar ePoint could easily r eplace the Rapid Applicat ion development featur e set of Lotus Notes• Shar ePoint is self ser vice dr iven and ther efor e will need less development r esour ces than a new Lotus Notes envir onment

While in r ealit y• What most consider to be simple Notes client applicat ions of ten r equir e moderate to significant development ef for t that cannot be done with Shar ePoint Designer and r equir e Visual Studio and .Net development skills• Complex applicat ions with business logic and wor kf low ar e not suitable for Shar ePoint and r equir e .Net development and addit ional Micr osof t pr oducts to pr ovide the same level of capabilit y you get in one pr oduct (Lotus Domino)

Platform Capability Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePoint

Messaging Built in messaging services tailored for applications.

Requires Exchange

Data storage Data store is fully integrated with the platform and no additional cost

Data storage relies an SQL server and unexpected additional cost must be considered

Replication Ability to have fine grained control to replicate data over distributed server environment

None


Application Capability

Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePoint

Securing access to document data

Fine grained control at the doc field or section level

Very limited to no capability to hide/secure data at this level

Workflow Simple to complex workflow can be built in Designer using data, security and messaging services

Simple workflows can be created in Sharepoint Designer. More complex workflows require .Net

Event model XPages and Notes forms provide robust event model

Events tied to list actions can be added but require C#

Offline access Industry leading ability to take data and business logic offline securely

Limited offline support


Recommendation

Br ing your Notes client applicat ions 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

THE Question - What about my apps?THE Question - What about my apps?

We are at an application crossroad Email has become a commodity

Domino or Exchange Cloud or On Premises or Hybrid

Email and application platforms being broken apart New platforms

Smartphones are common place Tablets are here and growing


End Users Expect Modern ApplicationsEnd Users Expect Modern Applications

End User expect consumer Web 2.0 Experiences at work

End Users will find their own solutions if applications are not updated

Corporate IT must modernize or become irrelevant


Existing Domino Application TypesExisting Domino Application Types

Documents & Discussions

• 40% of total apps• Based on Templates that

come with Domino • Recommendation:• Move to standard

platforms/apps• Update with new

XPages Templates from IBM (2011)

• Use third party tool(s)• LotusLive Engage• Other Offerings

Enterprise Applications

• 10% of total apps• Highly transactional or

huge volumes of data• Recommendation:• Rebuild on top of

Enterprise Java, .NET or other technology

Business Applications

• 50% of total apps •Mission Critical• Organization Unique• Heavy use of custom

Notes:

1. Custom Theme is a one time effort. Can be reused by all future XPages Applications

2. Mobile Controls were created as Custom Controls that can be reused


Comparing XPages to SharePointComparing XPages to SharePoint

• Same Notes Client application

• Document tasks to build feature comparable

SharePoint application

• Use SharePoint development best practices that

PSC uses with our customers

• Estimate development costs


SharePoint Development EstimatesSharePoint Development Estimates

• Create SharePoint Site• Create Agreement Form & Dialogs• Create Web Parts & Reports• Create Keyword Lookup Lists• Build Windows Workflows (not SharePoint Designer)• Implement Security – Groups and Building Form Filters• Build Excel Export

• Move Data using Third-Party Tool• Create Master Page• Create iPhone on top of SharePoint Mobile Extension


SharePoint Development EstimatesSharePoint Development Estimates


SharePoint Development Estimates SharePoint Development Estimates NotesNotes

• 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


Application Modernization in 2011Application Modernization in 2011

Your users are demanding modern applications in the

workplace

Smartphones and Tablets will force you to embrace

Web 2.0 development platforms and techniques

XPages is a mature web application platform

You don't have to migrate to get Web 2.0 and Mobile
