Lotus Notes Email Client
Software Choices Available

IBM(R) Lotus Domino(R) server and Lotus Notes(R) client software can help you improve the productivity of your employees and enable users to share, manage and organize information more efficiently.

A variety of Lotus Notes email client choices exist to connect an organization's employees to their office messaging system. Depending on how each office worker performs h/her work, one or more of these choices can be selected.

For example, in-the-office workers usually find the rich Lotus Notes desktop client software meets their messaging, groupware, & collaboration requirements. Out-of-office workers, such as sales or field representatives however, may find one of the web browser access methods more useful and appropriate to their job function. For those organizations that require custom applications and appoint one or more in-house application developers, the Lotus Domino Designer software is the logical choice.

A full description of each Lotus Notes email client type is listed below:
