Where are Notes/Domino 8 at in the market Released 8.0.1 – February 2008
Notes/Domino 8 deployments tracking ahead of historical trendsMore customers have begun deployments of ND8 release-to-date than
prior releasesQuality is higher: Fewer PMRs being converted to SPRs88 customer references for ND8 have been published or are in progress
Notes/Domino revenue has grown year-to-year in 13 of last 14 fiscal quarters
Continuing to win new customers worldwide, especially merger/acquisition/consolidation scenarios
Hear the buzz
“I show Notes 8 to people, they say, ‘Wow! That can't be Notes.’ The software’s design, once very clunky, has been updated so that it’s clean without being Web 2.0 trendy …” said John Head, Notes architect, PSC Group LLC.
— Eric Lai, Computerworld, March 2007
“Notes 8 has a clean new look, logical menus, and customizable layouts; for me, this design makes the client easier to use compared to Microsoft Outlook.”
—Mike Heck, InfoWorld, August 2007
“… something that can morph users’ inboxes into an integrated workspace encompassing calendaring, custom applications, email, instant messaging and office productivity tools.” —Maggie Holland, IT Pro U.K., August 2007
“… the most significant release of Notes in the last 10 years.”
—Peter O'Kelly, Burton Group, SearchDomino, "Lotusphere 2007 refocuses
on users," Eileen Kennedy, 12 Jan 2007

Goals of Domino 8.5 Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) through:
Simplifying Notes identity managementReducing storage costsImproving quality of service (QoS)
while…
Maintaining compatibility with existing applications and infrastructure
Domino 8.5: Simplify Notes identity management
Notes ID files have been a key consideration in managing end-user costs and administrator workload
However, they have also been the key to Notes/Domino’s highly secure reputation
Two new (optional) features will reduce the visible impact of the ID file:
Shared login Notes users only need to remember a single password – their Windows password
Addresses key customer concern regarding Notes end-user overhead
Notes ID Vault Reduce costs and improve turnaround time for lost IDs, forgotten passwords
Provides the ability to automatically reset Notes passwords, recover lost/damaged IDs
Domino 8.5: Reduce storage costs
Storage costs consistently rate as one of the highest components of Domino TCO
New 8.5 features will help dramatically reduce disk usage, especially redundant storage
Domino Attachment and Object Storage (DAOS) Allows for single instance storage for attachments/objects present in multiple mail
files/applications Stored as files
– Allows for incremental backups– No single point of failure– Easy for administrators, no monitoring of file size
Document compression Allow compression of Notes documents (also in 8.0.1)
Disk space savings of 35% Significant cost reduction (storage, backup, etc.)
Domino 8.5: DAOS example Email with a 5Mb attachment sent to 12 people
on the same mail serverWith DAOS, only 1 instance of the 5Mb attachment is written to
disk and storedA disk space savings of 92%!
– Less network bandwidth used– Less I/O– Faster database operations such as compact
Prevents “Reply to All” scenario, where an attachment can be sent, and resent again and again…
Domino 8.5: Improve quality of service Domino Configuration Tuner (DCT)
Ease the administrative tasks concerning misconfiguration that can lead to costly performance and security issues
Identify problemsSuggest potential solutionsDetect, analyze, and address potential problems before they’re
‘discovered’…
Extends autonomic work introduced in Domino 6, 7, and 8Design partner reaction to this feature: Strong positive
Security-rich, business-process-driven applications that enable people to collect, organize, share and track information
Notes and Domino 8.5: A premier platform for rapid application development
Comprehensive and open development environment
GUI-driven, point-and-click capabilities
Supplied templates require no coding
Support for developers at every skill level—Lotus, Java™ and Eclipse software
Centralized administration for quick deployment
Component reusability saves time and increases responsiveness
State of the Art Web TechnologyXPages: Web 2.0 meets Domino 8.5
Leverages both advanced controls and scalable runtimeDesigned for generating modern Web applications
– Built-in Web 2.0 featuresHighly extensible, runtime and design time
Solves problems expressed by the Domino communityKnown limitations are addressed
– UI/data separation, HTML generation control, server state, localization, extensibility, etc.
Same modern rendering technology targets multiple clients
XPages is built on top of JSF, but simplifies JSF: Easier to Learn: Enables use of Scripting Languages (JavaScript, XPath,…) Adds other extensions (data sources, AJAX, Dojo, etc.) No deployment step needed – works just like other design elements And JSFs will run…
