HCL Notes/Domino®

A bit of history

HCL Notes, formerly called IBM Notes (1995) and Lotus Notes (1989), is a groupware application originally developed by Lotus and later became part of IBM. In 2019, HCL Technologies (HCL) acquired several IBM software products, including Notes and Domino.

For many years, Notes was the only full-featured groupware solution that provided integrated business collaboration tools. It became a mainstay enterprise platform in the 1990's, offering sophisticated replication features that enabled users to work with local copies of documents and have their modifications propagated throughout an entire Notes network. It was also the first application to support a distributed database of documents that could be accessed by users across a LAN or WAN.
