Run established applications reliably and evolve them deliberately

Many companies have run applications on HCL Notes and HCL Domino for years – for workflows, document management, approvals or specialist processes. These systems are closely interwoven with business processes and carry valuable know-how.

The decisive question is therefore less “replace or not” than: how do the applications remain reliable, secure and connected? We help you with that – focusing on operational stability, traceable maintenance and step-by-step modernisation.

  • Business continuity

    Processes that depend on your applications stay stable.

  • Application maintenance

    Fix errors, implement changes in a traceable way.

  • Technical reliability

    Careful testing and clear documentation.

  • Gradual modernisation

    Improvements in stages instead of big-bang risk.

Application development

We build new Domino applications and extend existing ones – fitting your processes and your existing infrastructure.

  • Custom Domino applications
  • LotusScript and Notes databases
  • Workflow and approval applications
  • Forms, views and access control
  • Business process automation
  • Enhancements to existing applications
  • Web application integration
  • REST API integration By arrangement
  • Document and information management

Maintenance and support

We support you in the day-to-day operation of your Notes and Domino applications – from error analysis to planned enhancements.

  • Error analysis and troubleshooting
  • Maintenance of existing applications
  • Performance investigation
  • Enhancements and adjustments
  • Compatibility assessment for newer versions
  • Technical documentation

Scope, availability and response times are agreed with you on a project basis.

Domino server administration

We support you in operating your Domino infrastructure. Which activities apply in your case depends on your environment and the scope of the project.

  • Server configuration
  • Operational troubleshooting
  • Replication and synchronisation
  • Administration of mail and application servers
  • Security configuration
  • Monitoring By arrangement
  • Backup and recovery planning By arrangement
  • Upgrade planning By arrangement

Items marked “By arrangement” are services whose scope we clarify individually, depending on your environment and requirements.

Application modernisation

Existing applications can often be improved in stages – without replacing the whole system at once. Typical starting points:

  • Improved interfaces

    Clearer, contemporary forms and views for daily work.

  • Browser access

    Make applications accessible through the web browser where it makes sense.

  • API integration

    Create interfaces so other systems can use the data.

  • Workflow improvements

    Simplify approvals and processes and make them easier to trace.

  • Data exchange

    Transfer data reliably between applications and systems.

  • Connecting modern systems

    Link Notes applications with newer platforms and services.

  • Reducing technical debt

    Clean up legacy code and structure step by step.

Mobile use can be opened up as well: with partner solutions such as teamWorkr Mobile from Team Technology GmbH, applications can be made available on smartphones and tablets – provided the respective application allows it.

Migration and integration

Whether and how an application is moved to another platform or connected with other systems is decided on the basis of an assessment – not by default.

Not every application can be migrated automatically. Feasibility depends on the architecture of the existing application, its dependencies, the data model and your business requirements.

How we approach migration and modernisation questions

  1. Assessment

    Which applications, servers and interfaces are in use?

  2. Evaluation

    Structure, dependencies, data model, usage and business relevance.

  3. Options

    Keep and maintain, modernise, integrate or migrate – with pros and cons.

  4. Implementation in stages

    Controlled steps with testing and clear alignment.

Your benefits

  • Preserve business-critical knowledge

    The rules and processes embedded in your applications are not lost.

  • Extend existing investments

    What works stays in use and is extended deliberately.

  • Reduce operational friction

    Fewer media breaks, fewer manual intermediate steps.

  • Improve accessibility

    Make applications reachable for more users and devices.

  • Connect systems

    Link established applications with newer systems.

  • Evolve technology in a controlled way

    Change in manageable steps rather than going it alone.

Frequently asked questions

Which services do you offer for HCL Domino?

We develop and extend Domino applications, support existing applications in day-to-day operation, assist with the administration of Domino servers and accompany modernisation, integration and migration projects. We also advise on architecture questions. Which services make sense in your case, we clarify in an initial conversation.

Do you support existing HCL Notes applications?

Yes. Supporting existing Notes applications is part of our core business: error analysis, maintenance, enhancements and checking compatibility with newer Domino and Notes versions. For applications originally built by others, we first get an overview and only then assess the effort.

Can existing Domino applications be modernised?

In many cases, yes. Typical starting points are the user interface, browser access, workflows and interfaces to other systems. How far this can go depends on how the individual application is built. We assess that after an initial review – before larger effort is incurred.

Do you support integration with other business systems?

Yes. Depending on the platform version and requirements, options include REST interfaces, web services, database connections or file exchange. Which option is suitable depends on the systems involved and your requirements for security and data freshness.

How does a technical review work?

Together with you, we clarify which applications and servers are in use, in which versions, who uses them, which dependencies and interfaces exist and what goals you are pursuing. On that basis, you receive a well-founded assessment with options for action. Scope and duration depend on your environment.

Is a migration to another platform possible?

In principle yes, but feasibility has to be checked case by case. It depends on architecture, data model, dependencies and business requirements. We do not make blanket migration promises; instead, we evaluate the options based on your specific application.

Do you support companies outside Austria?

Yes. We are headquartered in Vienna and focus on Austria and the European market – in particular Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Poland. Collaboration is usually remote; on-site meetings are arranged on a project basis.
