Get the most from Notes

Some of you may have noticed the new tag line we are using at Teamstudio, “Get the most from Notes”. We feel this new tag line is more representative of what Teamstudio is all about. Our products and services help those building and managing Lotus Notes/Domino-based applications get the most out of the Notes/Domino platform.

Most Lotus Notes developers already know this. Whether you are using CIAO! to help control your application development environment, Configurator for global search and replace, Delta for database comparison and merge or another Teamstudio product, getting the most from Notes is what you have been doing with our products for more than 12 years.

Products and services for Notes Admins from Teamstudio are not as well known, but many of you have been “getting the most from Notes” by using our products for more than 5 years. Whether you are using Build Manager to help control the deployment of applications to your production environment or another product or service to help you manage ACLs, agents or overall usage of your Notes applications, you already know how our new tag line is consistent with the products and services we deliver to you.

So what happened to “Just Enough Governance for Notes”? Did it go away?

Although we did decide to change the tag line, we still feel the need for IT governance in the Notes world is important. We know it is an area where Teamstudio can help, but it is only part of what we do. If you go to the “Resources” section of our Web site, you will find a log of useful information there. And you can still get IT Governance help. Whether you are looking for policies references to help you form your own policies, or sample implementation guides, you will find it here.

I hope you agree that the new tagline, “Get the most from Notes” is more indicative of what we do. I would love to hear from you on this. Please feel free to leave a comment here or email me directly at scott_johnsen@teamstudio.com.

1 - Scott,

I think this tag line is pretty good. As you say it better represents what TS is trying to do.

"Just enough governance" was good to. Because you want to provide enough control without being bureaucratic. But it may not have "clicked" for some.

But this new tag line may better appeal to the un-initiated. Your biggest battle though is reaching those who are need to use some sort of tools but just don't realise it.

Years ago I worked at one place that thought CVS could do the same job, (yep, that's right, the CVS that is used for Java and other textual programming languages)..

I asked them how they "new" this, to which, they said "You can write formula and script in it can't you ?" (facepalm)

2 - Thanks for the comment Giulio. I agree with you regarding our biggest battle. We certainly have had our share of non-Notes IT Managers or CIOs who expect a tool like CVS to solve their challenges. That is until disaster strikes and they see that they can't really recover what they thought they could. Sometimes the best lessons are the "hard" lessons.
