Boost mobile productivity with Lotus Notes replication!

What happens when mobile teams who rely on IBM Lotus Notes® leave the office to visit a client office, work in the field, or travel? Research firm IDC reports that over 68% of workers in the United States are mobile (source: IDC, January 15, 2008). Yet, an advantage of using Lotus Notes as a working database is the ability to replicate with the server, ensuring workers are accessing the same set of data. Without access to the corporate network, replicating simple changes between multiple mobile workers can be virtually impossible.

This causes a number of challenges. Out-of-date or conflicting information residing on multiple laptops poses a legal risk for many companies. Waiting hours to discover that information has been changed or updated results in lost hours of work and duplication of effort. Traditional methods of connecting and exchanging data (dial-up, mini-LAN) are time consuming, cumbersome, and often preclude true database replication. When access to the Domino® server is unavailable or hard to obtain, it becomes difficult to stay in sync and collaborate with colleagues.

Instant networking software can enable mobile teams with wireless capable laptops to securely replicate Lotus Notes databases directly between clients, without the need for a Domino server. Once connected, workgroups can sync local databases, share files, share a printer, chat, and more.

Empower teams to network and replicate databases anywhere. Enable them to:

  • Instantly network anywhere using their wireless enabled laptops
  • Create 1-to-1 or many-to-many workgroups, anywhere
  • Replicate IBM Lotus Notes (R5 through R7) databases client-to-client
  • Communicate and collaborate in real time
  • Share files, folders, calendars, and printers  
  • Keep business information secure through authentication and 168bit encryption

Get Colligo Workgroup for Lotus Notes

Colligo Workgroup Edition (WE) 4.0

Colligo Workgroup for Lotus Notes is patented peer-to-peer software that enables users in close proximity to replicate Lotus Notes databases without a Domino server. This award-winning tool augments the powerful features of Colligo Workgroup Edition, which offers messaging, chat, whiteboarding, file transferring, folder sharing, and printer sharing between mobile team members.

Optimized for short-range wireless networks, Workgroup for Lotus Notes enables real-time replication through a familiar Microsoft® Windows® interface, without the need for cables, infrastructure, and expensive network charges. Mobile workers automatically discover other Workgroup users and invite them to authenticate into a secure ad hoc wireless network.

Simple or complex, large or small, any Lotus Notes database can then be replicated. Users can synchronize one or more databases, with one or more users simultaneously. When replication occurs, teams instantly exchange modifications so every member has current databases on local drives. This redundancy offers protection in the event of data loss on a specific laptop.

When one team member next connects to the Domino server, all the changes made by the workgroup are properly replicated back to the server. In this way, mobile teams, both inside and outside of the office, can seamlessly share information among users wherever they are.

The result: workgroups easily and confidently collaborate on Lotus Notes databases. Workgroup for Lotus Notes increases the productivity of mobile workers by enabling them to act on information when and where it is created.
