For the past five years, PSC has presented at conferences all over the world sharing our vision of how applying a modernization methodology to Notes & Domino can lead to major improvements in user adoption and accessibility. The impact is felt by the user, the developer, and the ROI of the application. During this time, we have been successfully applying the same proven processes to other technologies outside of the ICS realm. It is now time to bring those worlds together. There are a lot of questions in the community about what to do with our applications given the change in Notes/Domino application development roadmap. This session will give you the PSC perspective on your options. It will include our vision for IBM XPages, including IBM Bluemix and will highlight our integration work with IBM Digital Experience. We will showcase our work with other technologies, including Microsoft (Office365, Azure, Addins, and more), Nintex, OutSystems, QuickBase, to name a few. This session is for Notes/Domino/XPages customers who want robust options to modernize their existing applications. We will show you other platforms as well as announce an exciting partnership that will allow IBM XPages apps to have life on other platforms as well. Come and see real world demos of how our strategy is working for our existing customers and will work for you. We can help you navigate the road ahead.

We Love Notes & Domino, But …
• PSC has been modernizing and migrating Notes & Domino
applications for over 10 years
• Over 4,000 apps moved to different platforms, millions of $
• Understanding platforms and products is important, understanding
process and people matters far more
• As emotional as looking beyond Notes & Domino can be, this is an
opportunity for growth

Migrating Notes Apps: Challenges
Complex forms
Developers had complete control over layout, keyboard navigation, look & feel, security
Tabs, validation rules and secured content
Behind-the-scenes workflow
Agents and code behind forms orchestrated workflow; seamless to the user
By the time an app is rebuilt, the business process has changed
Role-based security
Change management
Client application  web application
New way of doing things

Migrating Notes Forms & Automation
Most Notes apps automate a business process
Recommended implementation:
Notes Forms
Lotus Script
Notes Documents & Attachments
Agents
User Interface
Business Rules Engine
Data Layer

Nintex Forms

Documents
Nintex Workflow

Nintex Takes the Edge Off
What is Nintex?
Forms and Workflow tool for SharePoint
Online, 2016 and 2013
WYSIWYG forms editor with rich
customizability
Robust workflow engine
Branching & looping
Custom task forms
Service integration with other apps
Document generation
Rich analytics suite
Nintex bridges the gap between Notes
and SharePoint

Notes to SharePoint: Workflow
Most approval in Notes is NOT task-

Poses functional and change
management risks
By the time a legacy app is
rebuilt, business process has
changed
Just because the process changed
doesn’t mean it’s documented
This is why a no-code solution is
important: supports Agile
development
Take this opportunity to re-prioritize
and streamline
