Most of the tools available for creating and maintaining Web pages work on a page by page basis. Changing a logo, or a basic form design, can require the repetitive alteration of many pages of a Web site. Even when you've added all of these functions together, the World Wide Web is still not a reliable groupware collaboration tool. No real-time tracking or monitoring of processes occurring on the Web is available today and most information is travelling the Internet insecurely for any one to tap into. The creation and maintenance of web pages can also be a nightmare as all pages are separate files.
Any modifications have to be done on a page by page basis.
A simple logo change can take hours of work with only a few hundred pages. Notes can reduce the administrative adjustment of page content by allowing for form changes to alter the whole database, and only form content becomes a page by page task, the way it should be. Lotus Notes however can provide all of this web functionality plus the tracking and monitoring of processes that are completed or in progress. All of the common features between Notes and the Web can be translated through Lotus' InterNotes products for relay of information between the Web site and the Notes server. Thus the Web can bring public and world wide access to Lotus Notes, and Notes can bring the control and monitoring of workflow to the Web.
