Easy access to several persons' calendars is possible, which means anyone is able to schedule quickly. Once a firm gets comfortable with what comes prepackaged, its attorneys may get the urge to design some simple databases for specialized mission-critical tasks. Here Notes leverages into something truly special. By adding proprietary power, Lotus makes designing databases relatively easy for even a nontechnical person. With foresight, Lotus built Notes on a foundation of open systems protocols that go beyond buzzword compliance.
Notes adds value without compromising connectivity with the rest of the world.
Encryption, decryption, replication, permissions, searching, sorting, viewing, and countless other tasks are handled almost automatically for virtually any application in precisely the manner the user wants, functioning transparently with minimal fuss. Once you understand how you function, and how your staff functions, you are halfway there. The other half is understanding what a machine can or should provide, and what a machine cannot or should not provide. Notes has the wonderful advantage that, in nearly all instances, at least compared to other programs, it will not be the limiting factor. We call one Notes database our office designed TimeLine.
