By any measure last Friday was a very notable day in the History of Notes/Domino. Not only was it the 29th anniversary of the first release of Notes but we heard the news that HCL had acquired (or is acquiring) the full rights to Notes/Domino along with a number of products in the IBM portfolio. Perhaps the most notable of these being Connections.

It’s Business as Usual

Just keep using your IBM Collaboration Solutions software as usual and keep up your relationship with IBM or your IBM business partner as you always have. It’s business as usual. As an IBM champion with several customers using collaborative software from IBM, as well as being the leader of the Norwegian usergroup (ISBG), I’ve been asked by many people about what the deal between IBM and HCL will mean for them as customers.

If you’ve been following closely presentations and announcements about DQL, there are a few things that have been said and seem clear to me, things that give insight into the approach with DQL that are interesting and demonstrate the team is thinking beyond history, beyond Domino, and building for the future.

DominoDB and a big NO-NO ! 

By Heiko Voigt | 11/14/18 5:26 PM | App Dev - Web | Added by Oliver Busse

So folks, the beta of DominoDB is out and people are starting to use it. One of my early-adopting customers started to play around with it and started to create a React.-based application using DominoDb to modify database content.
