Technically Lotus Notes Domino has parallel structure, including Domino email server. Lotus is extremely flexible and you can program your own CRM CRM or buy a Lotus, but Microsoft CRM, Microsoft SQL Server database and very simple sales automation module. Let's look at the integration reasons and scenarios. Be sure that each case requires custom programming, setup and support.

o Why Lotus and MS CRM? There are several reasons for combining the two. First - Lotus Domino has a very long history and is present in the market for over 15 years. Corporations can have a business system based on Lotus Notes Domino platform, which is not desirable or even feasible from the complexity of the view that it is possible to reason ukinuti.Drugi IT strategy to balance the multiple platforms in order to avoid over-dependence on one supplier (the what is Microsoft). There might be a licensing problem - if a company has several hundred Lotus license - it does not want to lose them and pay for the 200 users of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. In the case of MS CRM can be a solution for the sales department and other departments should remain on the Lotus

of Lotus Domino as a message to MS CRM. No need to program this custom piece, just use MS CRM - Lotus Domino connector, support for Alba Spectrum Technologies. This is advanced functionality, compared to the standard MS CRM Exchange connector. Instead of using the GUID in the header of the e-mail, it scans the contacts, accounts, leads the e-mail for correspondence.

o Lotus Workflow. Workflow is possible in Lotus and MS CRM. In Lotus, however, workflow is the most advanced. You can use Lotus progress, and upon completion can transfer control of Microsoft CRM. This is typical of Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK (MS CRM for the program) and the Lotus Agent Java programming by Lotus. Lotus labor can work with the integration into your ERP / Accounting applications, such as Microsoft Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, but this is beyond the scope of this article.

on the Lotus / CRM synchronization activities. One popular application is the synchronization of Microsoft CRM activities: Appointment, phone call, fax, etc. with Lotus Totosi. This should enable users to work on the same project sharing Lotus and MS CRM data space.

Collaboration, Mobility and Virtuality

Posted by Bapak



for several years, several approaches to work effectively in a team, generally called the cooperation we have started the e-mail and groupware and intranet portals or team chat solutions. Some of them are well established now, for others it is - at best - still a long way to reach them. If you consider the challenge of co-operation with the users' point of view, it becomes quickly apparent that I still want the improved concepts.

people will work in teams within the company are equally well-off - at least if the company structure is a solid one, for example, the implementation of Lotus Notes / Domino infrastructure. Version 8 Lotus Notes / Domino, along with notes, activities made ​​a major step towards flexible cooperation, although it remains limited to a comparatively inflexible enterprise IT infrastructure. However, mobile users and small businesses with a largely virtual structures and temporary structures for implementing a virtual work outside the company, faced a completely different scenario.

In this area, the typical collaboration tool is e-mail. Everyone is familiar with overflowing mail boxes, and there are few who can deal effectively infinite amounts of attachments. All in all, e-mail is an important medium, but simply inappropriate for many tasks.

Additional chat programs and other mechanisms to add a pitiful situation that more and more tools are available without actually simplifying communication, just as many different systems and methods. Skype conversations nice invention, the results are stored in log files, but hardly anyone ever read these log files.

Looking at the problem from the view of what a mobile user typically works in a virtual structures really need, it becomes quite obvious that many of the standard approach does not rade.Broj users affected by this defect is quite large, consisting freelance consultants, small innovative companies, research groups and many others. In these scenarios, decisions that require your server infrastructure are the first to get out of the race, for such infrastructure must be built and run by people very familiar with this business - who have largely disappeared. In addition, more specific problems involved such as the right bandwidth for access to your own server, or more service connections fees for the provision of fixed IP addresses - not to mention the security challenges. That means turn off all systems such as Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange - the latter anyway, but instead mail collaboration tool -. Out of a possible choice

the requirements of user groups in question must be met by a tool that allows offline work - and can be used on different platforms. What these users need a solution that the demand can also be accessed via the web, especially for the integration of staff from the major companies involved in joint projects and monitor specific IT policy is not allowing them to install a local primjenu.Idealno solution should enable users to share documents, calendars, management, maintenance tasks, and do other basic work - the easy way. If more than one computer used, the identical data should be available to all of them. Add some integrated chat, or even VoIP functions for communications within virtual teams, and you'll get a tool that supports a virtual mobile user far better than the e-mail or the like.

Collaboration suppliers have become aware of this requirement. Collanos Workplace Collanos provided clear answers to concentrate. Some of the required functions as a platform for independence and offline capabilities are already implemented, others are in the roadmap, from VoIP and network integration services to enable browser-based work, the simplified use on more than one računala.Cijeli system is characterized by user-friendly look and feel. Another solution is just positioning in this market segment, Microsoft Office Groove. However, it has an add-in for Microsoft Server heat - so catch up with Lotus Notes / Domino 8th And there is platform independence.

This does not mean that e-mail will be completely off-limits to users in question. However, in many scenarios, access to information will be much easier than before -. Serve a large group of mobile people who work in virtual structures in a more appropriate way
