Users of Lotus Notes

Lotus Notes, is used by several different types of users in all organizations.

For most employees and workers, Lotus Notes is an email system. Even though email is not this application software's largest strength, it is the most recognizable feature.It has most or all of the features of the other popular e-mail products on the market, including calendaring and scheduling, and it uses standards-based mail protocols such as POP3 and SMTP. Because Notes has both a client and a server piece, users can use it to read and respond to e-mail, and administrators can use it as an entire e-mail environment.
For all practical purposes, Lotus Notes is an entire database. Individual users have their own e-mail databases, and different sets of users can share application databases that can display, add, or manipulate information. Moreover, a database can also contain modules of programming code that will perform background, scheduled, or on-demand tasks for a user.
Lotus Domino databases are built using the Domino Designer client. A key feature of Notes is that many replicas of the same database can exist at the same time on different servers and clients, across dissimilar platforms, and the same storage architecture is used for both client and server replicas. Lotus Notes helps drive business value through composite application technology that allows you to integrate and present line-of-business solutions and data from multiple systems into a single view for end-users.
Notes' integration with IBM's Sametime instant messaging allows users to see other users online and conduct chat sessions with them. A chat session can be with one person or multiple people. Beginning with Release 6.5 this functionality is built into the Notes client and presence awareness is available in email and other Notes applications for users in organizations that use both Notes and Sametime.
