There are many ways to clean up your desktop. Today we will talk about the new version of the solution, which has been a success in the office software market for 20 years now - IBM Lotus Notes / Domino 8 . Product overview and additional videos posted under the cut.



Lotus Notes is a platform for building management and document automation applications. A feature of the system is an object-oriented architecture, thanks to which it is possible to create information systems that automate work with complex-structured data and non-formalized dynamic processes. In IBM Notes terminology, this is the client workstation software, and Domino is the server software.

What does IBM Lotus Notes 8 include?

Built-in collaboration and messaging
In a modern work environment, information is poured in almost everywhere. E-mail, news feeds, messaging, applications, documents ... That's enough to clog any desktop. That is why in IBM Lotus Notes 8 all business applications and collaboration tools that are used daily are assembled in one interface. And thanks to Lotus Symphony productivity tools, you can now open, edit, and mail Microsoft Office, Adobe, and other files without going into a separate window.

Single interface
IBM Lotus Notes 8 comes in an updated format with a clear, Web-style interface. Now all the necessary applications and tools will be at your fingertips, which means that the speed and efficiency of work will increase. Page sketches and grouped bookmarks will allow you to quickly move from one open application or message window to another with a maximum of two mouse clicks.

Built-in instant messaging between colleagues
IBM Lotus Notes 8 lets you take advantage of the built-in secure instant messaging feature and find out employee status from any part of Lotus 8, including email, calendar, or contact list. To talk with a colleague, you no longer need to go from one application window to another. Lotus 8 works exactly as you like.

Upgraded Email
Today, most of the work, including collaboration, flows through e-mail. In Lotus Notes 8, these processes are simpler. In the new "Dialog mode" you can group incoming messages by topic or dialogue and do not view individual messages. “Collaboration History” allows you to see all emails, instant messages, and documents related to a specific project, and quickly access them. And with the help of the “Revoke message” function, you can immediately recall any email sent by chance.

More simple calendar and contact list
With the new “smart” e-mail, calendar and contact list, Lotus Notes 8 will be a good help in the work. An updated visual calendar will help you choose the perfect time to meet. And the "Business card" mode allows you to quickly find the necessary information in the contact list and in data about people.
