2 Agenda IBM Lotus & WebSphere Portal Application Development strategy Mission Vision and value The Platforms: WebSphere Portal Lotus Mashups Lotus Domino Lotus Clients Q & A

4 Application Development Mission Lotus software is the premier platform for collaborative applications that drive organizational efficiency. We enable our partners and clients to customize the solution to meet their business needs. Our technology integrates and simplifies infrastructure through open standards and open platforms, all while delivering exceptional user experiences.

Situational Developers - Scripting is key - Visual tooling for Data and UI - Rapid prototyping - Leverage shared assets - Complimentary visual tooling - Need it now vs Strategic Solution Providers - Collaboration features extended to custom solutions - CRM, data collection, workflow are historically strong - Enterprise Desktops that integrate and optimize, even across disparate apps and tech.

9 Domino Applications Proven in Production with 18 years of experience Security-rich, business-process-driven applications that enable people to collect, organize, share and track information Proven in production (18 years) Security built in, not bolted on Long Lasting Applications Application Compatibility By the time the specification is written in another Language, the application is written and deployed in Notes / Domino Comprehensive and open development environment GUI-driven, point-and-click capabilities Supplied templates require no coding Support for developers at every skill level Lotus, Java and Eclipse software Centralized administration for quick deployment Component reuse saves time 9

10 Domino Designer Power Tools for Notes and Domino Developers Easy-to-use development tool to create security-rich collaborative applications that can accessed through the Notes client or Web Developers: Notes Developers Programming Style: Document-centric, event driven, Script Target: Notes, Domino Create: Document-centric, intuitive, workflow enabled, end-user facing applications that can work online or offline Access: Web, Notes Client, Mobile Client Key Features Familiar Designer U/I lets you visually compose apps Compose: LotusScript, Markup Like Always: Longer Lasting Applications.Application Compatibility Rapid Application Development: By the time the spec is written in C#/Java,.the application is written in Notes / Domino Like Never Before: The Web has never looked better Compelling Web Sites: Advanced U/I Dojo, AJAX Faster to develop / maintain: XPages / CSS and Eclipse based: Opens IDE to 3 rd Party Tools / Apps

11 Domino Applications What's New in XPages The Web has never looked better A new design element for Domino Designer A runtime designed to generate modern Web applications State-of-the-Art Web applications XPages are designed for generating modern Web applications Built-in Web 2.0 features Compelling User Interfaces (Dojo,...) Leverages Java Server Faces for Designer Developers Solves problems expressed by you UI/data separation, HTML generation control, server state, localization, extensibility, etc. Same modern rendering technology can target multiple clients 11

12 Domino Applications What are people saying "XPage technology drastically reduces the time it takes us to develop Domino applications. We no longer need to spend time developing client side JavaScript/Ajax code since many of things we built in this manner are now core features of XPages. Additionally, the ability to more easily leverage standard techniques like CSS makes building a compelling user experience much easier." Bruce Elgort Eljugi software llc 12

20 Client Platforms Leveraging Eclipse for application integration Open standards based programming model based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) 20

21 Lotus Notes Mail, PIM, Collaborative Apps, Plugins,... Widgets and Gadgets Catalog for consuming and publishing Drag-n-drop into the Notes client Share across the organization Composite Applications Automate process and workflow Run portlets and web applications locally VB Notes PIM Voice Mash app widgets in addition to web widgets An open platform, Eclipse technology, powered by Expeditor 3 rd Party 3270 WEB Plug-ins can extend many elements of the UX Customize the look, add new features and menus, and avoid traditional template migration issues 21

22 Banca Carige Banking Teller System RFID Customer identification management Summary of customer position Paperless document management (scanned order) Not recognized Customer Search. We can integrate here calendar or todo list Account Management Collaboration Integration of messaging with branch employees or back-office Suspended operation management Cashier operations 22

23 Composite Applications Editor Integrating Applications / On the Desktop Developer Skill: Eclipse, Java, Native Style: IT App Development Target: Notes, Symphony, Sametime, Expeditor Create: Integrates Apps on the Desktop Messy Desk Key Features Assemble and wire applications Integrated Workspace Drag components from the pallet Wire them together Save as a.ca file and run Container Framework new in 8.5! Web Applications, Notes Views and Documents*, Spreadsheets*, Host on Demand* Sidebar and Live Text integration

25 The Benefit of Eclipse Based Tooling Value Today, Great Opportunities for Tomorrow! Why Eclipse? Community (largest in the World) Extensible script & debugger framework Built-in editors for CSS, XML, HTML, etc. Leverage continuing improvements in Eclipse for free Partners can easily extend the tool through Eclipse extension points Framework maintenance reduced, allows us to focus on your feature requests (tables with pixels, etc.) Allows you to work with multiple IBM tools in a single container

26 The Benefit of IBM Application Development Tooling The right set of development tools for every developers skill set Rapid iterative development Robust integration capabilities to both IBM and many other 3 rd party products Application Development Tools Application Reuse build once and deploy to many different clients Leverages an open standards-based service oriented architecture (SOA) that promotes easy integration and extensibility Portlet Factory Domino Designer Eclipse RAD XPD Toolkit Widget Factory Seamlessly plugs into existing development environments Eclipse SDK Rational Application Developer Rational Software Architect

27 IBM Platforms: When to use Strategic, IT built applications Time to Deployment Information Technology (Java, Eclipse) Governance and risk outweigh speed and flexibility. Construction is IT Lead, LOB influenced. Application Integration across client and servers. Extension of legacy applications. Line of Business (Domino / Portal) Maintains governance / security Increases speed / flexibility Rapid Application Development (Scripting) Forms / Templates / Accelerators for Business Solutions and faster ROI Self Service Applications (Mashups) Rapid ad hoc application development. Addresses a specific business problem. Can combine external and internal content. Can be shared across the company Number of applications Long Tail Situational

35 IBM Mashup Center A end to end mashup platform, supporting line of business assembly of simple, flexible, and dynamic web applications with the management, security, and governance capabilities IT requires Create new applications by reusing existing data and services Unlock Enterprise, Web, Personal and Departmental Information Develop widgets from enterprise systems Discover and share mashups, widgets, feeds, and services Transform information into new feeds

36 Lightweight Quick Application Boeing Usable Airport Search Mashup The NEO Demo is a spiral demonstration of NextGen Aviation capabilities. It demonstrates functional improvements made possible when information is widely available across agencies (FAA, DoD, DHS, NASA). Boeing Air Traffic Management Boeing saw a need for authorities to use existing data and systems to react to unexpected events and develop new capabilities. During Hurricane Katrina authorities could not quickly use existing systems to find airports that were opened and had runways with enough capacity to land transport planes carrying relief supplies. Within three weeks Boeing and IBM had deployed mashup capability using IBM s Mashup Center. Boeing successfully demonstrated the capability to FAA, DoD, DHS. Samet M. Ayhan, Boeing: The IBM Mashup tool offers a new approach for quick web application development, where disparate data sources can be fused on a single environment with reusable components in order to make better decisions. 36
