What is our mission?
§ Creating good looking apps and workflows should be easy
§ Using spreadsheets is problematic beyond simple data
management
§ Empower business users and don’t let them bug their Admins
and IT
§ Make the new capability available “out of the box” with Domino
3 | Copyright © 2019 HCL Technologies Limited | www.hcltech.com3 | Technology for the Next Decade, Today
Low-code strategy on Domino V11 IS:
§ A new Builder that works on Domino
§ Anyone can use it to create new apps and workflows
§ The Builder and Apps are deployed as NSFs
IS NOT:
§ A way to “reskin” or modernize existing Domino apps
§ A solution for pro-code or IT application developers.
