Run Your Notes Apps on Your Ipad Without Any Development

Posted on March 28, 2018March 30, 2018 by elfworld

The conference IBM Think was held in Las Vegas from March 19th to 22nd. Over 30 000 people were there, and the conference covered subjects like collaboration, IBM Connections, blockchain, cloud, encryption and artificial intelligence.

As I’m an IBM Champion for ICS and the leader of the Norwegian ICS usergroup (ISBG) I was mostly interested in the portfolio of IBM Collaboration Solutions. As I wrote back in October 2017, HCL has taken over the development of the ICS portfolio, except for IBM Connections, while IBM will still be handling sales and customer contact and support. The most surprising revelation that came out of this is that we will get a Notes/Domino v10, and IBM and HCL has already started delivering demos of what they have promised so far.

However, even that news was eclipsed by the demo showed at Think. You can now actually run Notes applications on you Ipad, without any development, what so ever, needed!

You can simply run them on the Ipad, and all functionality will work as if you were in the Notes client. This includes Lotusscript and the Formula language!

Don’t believe me? Take a look at this demo, provided by Alan Lepofsky:

 

 

It really seems like IBM & HCL has set a pace we haven’t seen from IBM since…since… a long time. They are even going to do marketing! Now, if this only could be followed by actually talking to and meeting with customers, we might have something. Anyway, that video is awesome, and I can’t wait to show it to the Notes/Domino customers I have left.

As for Connections, on the other hand, it was peculiar how little news that came out of IBM Think. Last year, everything was all about IBM Connections Pink. This year there were a few sessions about IBM Connections Engagement Center, but so far I haven’t seen any announcements about how the development of IBM Connections is coming along.

It’s no secret that when the Norwegian user group have seminars or webinars about Connections, the interest from our members is considerably lower than when we have presentations about Notes/Domino. So I’m wondering about what will happen on the platform. My guess is that it won’t be long before HCL takes over Connections as well. Especially since IBM seems to be focusing everything on Watson Workspace and Watson Assitant. Not to mention quantum computing and big data analysis. Time will show.

Anyway, the video is just awesome. I can imagine the applause in Vegas when it was demoed.

    It’s my belief that Notes and Domino is a dead product. Sorry to say, as an original Lotus employee, but it’s true. I do not see any major company or US Government agency suing any of the IBM Collaboration tools anymore.

      We have heard that Notes and Domino are dead since the early 2000s. But it’s still around. However, I’m gonna admit that my customer base is shrinking faster than ever. And I see your point. There has been a growth in Asia, believe it or not, but not so for the rest of the world. We just have to wait and see if it was too little too late.

    I meant using not suing but maybe they should be suing IBM for killing the product! 🙂
