Almost No-One Is Complaining About Domino

✤ Are IBM updating Notes?

✤ Our users want a web mail client like Google

✤ IBM keep saying we should move to the cloud

✤ We no longer have an IT department to support the Notes client

✤ We need Outlook because we’ve bought X and it won’t integrate with Notes

✤ We’re thinking of moving to Google / O365 because our users like the client

Do not go on the offence

Do not go on the offence

or the defence

and definitely not this…

Care About Features Not Numbers

Choosing A Client

✤ First talk to the business about

✤ What they don’t like in their current setup

✤ What they feel is missing

✤ What drives them crazy

✤ What would make their job easier

The difference between this


& this


& this

is THIS


& this

✤ client choice ✤ configuration ✤ training

is THIS

There is no single option that suits everyone

Domino is the only mail server out there that lets you choose the right client for each part of the business

.. and not just one client either. Users can switch between clients seamlessly because the data source is the same

regardless

The Notes Client

✤ It’s served us well for over 20 years

✤ no-one least of all IBM will claim that Notes is the mail client you should choose

✤ it still does things better than other mail clients

✤ but if all you’re doing is mail … well there are better options

Why We Love The Notes Client

✤ Searching / Full Text Index

✤ Mail In Databases

✤ Replication

✤ Offline working

✤ It was ahead of its time. But have people moved on?

. and it’s not going away

✤ IBM continue to update the client

✤ there are thousands upon thousands of Notes client apps out there

✤ there is also the ICAA (formerly Notes Browser Plug In)

✤ BUT it’s a big install and a lot of client management if all you want is mail and calendar

✤ what light browser clients have taught us is that people will accept less and simpler over more

iNotes & iNotes Lite

iNotes is a full featured browser based mail and calendaring client. Visually it’s very similar to the

Notes client

Includes contacts, notes, sametime integration, todos, OOO and delegation

For phones with small screens, iNotes has a “lite” mode to minimise real estate but that also has less

functionality in that mode

What Do You Need?

✤ Domino

✤ Configured with HTTP

✤ make that HTTPS with a good strength SSL certificate

✤ Web Redirection database

Any Mail Client

POP and IMAP are protocols for collecting mail

Most mail clients support both POP and IMAP

Domino supports both

You can configure any mail client you want to retrieve your mail via either of these protocols

IMAP is more full featured and offers folder synchronisation for example

If POP & IMAP collect mail - how does your preferred client send it?

It uses SMTP. any SMTP. it can be Domino. or in front of Domino

If there’s a mail client someone specifically wants to use

POP/IMAP + SMTP will let them do that with Domino continuing to host the mail databases

POP and IMAP don’t offer the range of services you get from an Enterprise mail server such as OOO,

delegations and free time lookups

What Do You Need?

✤ Any mail client that supports IMAP or POP3 (so basically any mail client)

✤ Domino configured for secure authenticated IMAP or POP3

✤ An authenticating SMTP relay

✤ Domino or something in front of Domino

Traveler

No matter your mobile device of choice* Traveler on your Domino server paired with the Traveler, Verse or native apps

provide integrated mail , calendar, contacts , todos and encrypted mail

*ok there are some exceptions

What Do You Need?

✤ The Traveler add-in for Domino

✤ DB2 for high availability across multiple servers

✤ HTTPS

✤ The Traveler app or, on iOS, the native mail and calendar apps

Mail For Microsoft Outlook

Standard Outlook client and UI supporting application plugins

Syncs with Domino server for mail, calendar, contacts etc

Delegation and OOO supported

Offline mode and offline syncing

Outlook mail merge, search and filtering supported

What Do You Need?

✤ Add-in to your Domino server

✤ a variant of Traveler which runs as the Traveler task

✤ supports High Availability and DB2 or Derby db source

✤ Separate client add-in for Outlook which supports 32bit and 64bit versions and releases 2010, 2013, 2016

✤ HTTPS on the server for syncing

✤ Mail file quotas and policies

✤ ID Vault

Verse On Premise

IBM’s next generation lightweight browser based mail client

First in the cloud soon to be on premise (VOP)

This should be your default client going forwards

Intelligent analysis or mail, actions and behaviour

Currently in Beta 1, very limited access*

*thank you to Barry Rosen for letting me break NDA and show this

What Do You Need?

✤ Domino

✤ Verse library files / add in

✤ Configured for HTTPS

✤ Connections Files & Profiles

✤ if you really want to get the most from Verse

Domino In The Back

✤ Domino remains the best mail server in the world

✤ It supports more mail clients and standards than any other

✤ You don’t have to pick one client

✤ All clients use the same mail db stored on Domino

✤ DAOS, FT indexing, Replication, Clustering, DBMT - everything server based continues and continues to be enhanced

Verse Desktop + Traveler on mobile

Notes client + iNotes lite on the phone

Most users on Verse with some using both that and Outlook for custom applications

Whatever Mac or Linux client you want plus Traveler for Android
