EmailUse Lotus Notes Traveler to stay current with your mail.

Software Recovery & Repair

It’s never easy to change suppliers in the middle of a project, especially if it’s not exactly under good terms. When a new customer approached us to take over their Lotus Domino Application we were faced with this very challenge.

The Application was held together in a universal template provided by the previous supplier which appears to try and do everything in Java which is embedded into Lotus Domino design elements. It looked very much like they were trying to re-write the core elements of Domino in Java because they couldn’t get the Application to function as required.

This Application is basically an Asset Management database which was intended for sole use via a browser. There was no time for a re-write so we had to recover what we could from the existing template and repair the sections to get the application live.

A year down the road and we are still making minor adjustments and finding issues with the original suppliers code, but the customer is happy that the Application was launched and that the initial cost of the project were not lost or written off.

A few years ago you had to choose between ISDN or IP based video conferencing solutions. Did you go for ISDN and have a stable but low quality connection or IP and high quality as and when it was available to you?

Domino Sales Forecasting

Had a full day today customising and tweaking a client Sales Forecasting Notes Database.

Domino 8.5.3 doing its job and showing where the “old” code isn’t as efficient as it could be.

After a little lotus script change the db is now performing at triple the speed! More importantly, external users working via VPN can process their forecasts without having to go and make a cup of tea between mouse clicks!

Server Deployment – Retail

Client: Retail Industry
Issue: Development Server Required – Immediately!

Next Step IT were commissioned to identify the end clients needs and propose a server solution for a bespoke development environment. The timescales were short and needed to be achieved.

We sourced from our trusted suppliers a New HP Proliant Rack Server which offered a scalable solution to the client, which was delivered ‘next day’ before 10:30am.

The server was installed into the rack and built with Windows 2008 R2 64bit server code. All updates installed and security enabled with static IP’s as per the clients requirements and deployed ready for use before the end of the day.

A true 48 hour project that landed and was achieved.
