David Via,IBM Lotus Software GroupBusiness Unit Executive, Messaging and Collaboration Sales
• “What does that mean?” I am primarily responsible for sales of the Notes and Domino product family – Notes/Domino, Symphony, Alloy, Protector, Lotus Mobile Connect - worldwide. But Notes and Domino is just the beginning!
• Just presented at my 18th Lotusphere. (Yes, I have been to every single one.)• Working with Notes since R2 in 1992! (Wow, I am old.)• Perhaps most importantly: I've only been at IBM for five years. (Before that I
spent 13 years as a Lotus Business Partner sitting in the same seats that you are right now... ;)

Domino Applicat ion Development Today – “not your Father 's Designer ”
• Advantages of Domino over Microsoft Sharepoint
Notes f r om the f ield – PSC's r eal wor ld exper iences
Domino Applicat ion Development Tomor r ow - The IBM Social Business Fr amewor k
Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePoint
Claims hear d about why one should move to Shar epoint• Shar ePoint could easily r eplace the Rapid Applicat ion development featur e set of Lotus Notes• Shar ePoint is self ser vice dr iven and ther efor e will need less development r esour ces than a new Lotus Notes envir onment
While in r ealit y• What most consider to be simple Notes client applicat ions of ten r equir e moderate to significant development ef for t that cannot be done with Shar ePoint Designer and r equir e Visual Studio and .Net development skills• Complex applicat ions with business logic and wor kf low ar e not suitable for Shar ePoint and r equir e .Net development and addit ional Micr osof t pr oducts to pr ovide the same level of capabilit y you get in one pr oduct (Lotus Domino)
Platform Capability Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePoint
Messaging Built in messaging services tailored for applications.
Requires Exchange
Data storage Data store is fully integrated with the platform and no additional cost
Data storage relies an SQL server and unexpected additional cost must be considered
Replication Ability to have fine grained control to replicate data over distributed server environment
None
Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePoint
Application Capability
Lotus Notes/Domino Microsoft SharePoint
Securing access to document data
Fine grained control at the doc field or section level
Very limited to no capability to hide/secure data at this level
Workflow Simple to complex workflow can be built in Designer using data, security and messaging services
Simple workflows can be created in Sharepoint Designer. More complex workflows require .Net
Event model XPages and Notes forms provide robust event model
Events tied to list actions can be added but require C#
Offline access Industry leading ability to take data and business logic offline securely
Limited offline support
Reasons not to move Notes apps to SharePoint
Recommendation
Br ing your Notes client applicat ions to the Web with Xpages
● Preserves your investment in your current application's data and business logic while providing a Web 2.0 developer experience
● Provides browser and mobile access and still allows you to take that application securely offline with all application logic available using the Notes client
● Expands the reach of your Domino applications to other IBM platforms like WebSphere Portal and IBM Mashup Center thru iWidgets

Comparing XPages to SharePointComparing XPages to SharePoint
• Same Notes Client application
• Document tasks to build feature comparable
SharePoint application
• Use SharePoint development best practices that
PSC uses with our customers
• Estimate development costs

SharePoint Development EstimatesSharePoint Development Estimates
• Create SharePoint Site• Create Agreement Form & Dialogs• Create Web Parts & Reports• Create Keyword Lookup Lists• Build Windows Workflows (not SharePoint Designer)• Implement Security – Groups and Building Form Filters• Build Excel Export
• Move Data using Third-Party Tool• Create Master Page• Create iPhone on top of SharePoint Mobile Extension

SharePoint Development EstimatesSharePoint Development Estimates
©2011 Property of PSC Group, LLC
SharePoint Development Estimates SharePoint Development Estimates NotesNotes
• PSC recommends Windows Workflow over SharePoint Workflow using SharePoint Designer due to it’s quality and support
• iPhone development would be ASP.NET development talking to SharePoint Web Services
• Security would use Active Directory Groups and function by applying Filters to parts of the Form
• Data Export using Third Party tools would include documents, field data, and attachments
• Master Page Estimate includes colors, corporate branding, logo, and simple menu changes
