Technical and Training Requirements

Using an application software such as Lotus Notes in any organization, requires all users of it to have the technical knowledge and skill and training requirements in order to use the software effectively.
IBM also provides training for the Lotus Application, including certification. This does incur an extra cost, but has the advantage that it comes from the developer of the software rather than a third party. This is the best kind of training and education that a software company can provide. .The IMB Lotus Notes Home Page on the internet, provides vast knowledge on how to become experts on using this software properly to help one to take full advantage of it. The Lotus Support Technical Exchange hosts Open Mic conference calls and webcasts where technical experts share their knowledge and answer your questions on specific technical topics. Events are even recorded for those not able to attend the live events.
This website gives a detailed discription on the requirements needed on a computer to exploit all its offerings.
This website is part of the home page for Lotus Notes and is a discussion forum hosted by the company (IBM) itself and lets users interact with each to help solve any problems.
This website is one of the most important sources on this blog as it has a step-by-step approach to learning how to use Lotus Notes. It has demo videos and instructions for using IBM Lotus Spreadsheet, IBM Lotus Documents, Lotus Presentations and so on.
Furthermore, there is a section on Reference Cards where users can relate problems to, as well as find on the spot solutions. Another section on " How do I? " serves like a FAQ on the Lotus Notes webiste and that provides reliable solutions and tips.
As far as technical training is concerned, the link above has a section dedicated to technical education that basically offers various courses ranging from 5- 30 courses that allow you to get all the information needed to use the software to its fullest extent. 8 core courses for example D8420 - Exploring new features on the IBM Domino Designer Server 8, allows the user to develop a systematic way of thinking and operating this application software.
These 8 courses are required by any user to allow him to take full advantage of the software and range from being a one day course to a maximum of 4 days.
