 Lotus Foundations Web Hosting
Small business is still big business. Every company needs the ability to do e-mail, create, share and centrally manage documents and ensure that all their information is backed up and protected - but they don't want the hassle or expense of dealing with complex IT systems.
IBM® Lotus® Foundations provides the essential software a business needs to focus on running the business, not managing computer systems.
Capabilities
Advanced email, calendaring, and contact management
- Email: Lotus Notes software helps users manage the tasks and actions implicitly imbedded within simple email. Email can be flagged by its relative importance; follow up dates can be set for when a reply is needed or an action is to be completed by, and alarms can be set to remind the recipient of an impending follow up. Messages can be signed and encrypted to help verify sender authenticity and protect confidential data. And, an email sent in error can be recalled - even if its recipients have already read it.
- Calendar and scheduling: Quickly schedule meetings, appointments, and reminders across multiple time zones. Invite required and optional attendees, and secure meeting resources such as a conference room and audio/visual equipment, all within a single invitation.
- Contact Management: Contact information helps users keep their network of colleagues close at hand, and enables them to quickly find people with key job responsibilities.
- Out of Office: When users are away from the office, they can alert senders of incoming email and meeting invitations that they are unavailable. Information such as the date and time of return, as well as custom instructions such as alternate contact information or the name of a backup colleague, can be conveyed so that workflow execution can continue.
Backup and Recovery
- Your business information is your most important asset. Making backup copies of your information is essential to ensure that your business will be able to recover from an unforeseen loss of critical data, whether that loss has resulted from an employee accidentally deleting a critical file, important documents becoming corrupted, or a crisis situation that has erased or destroyed all of your information.
- Eliminating the perils of tape backup, Lotus Foundations Start's backup technology uses industry-standard hard disk drives for backup media. The speed and capacity of the media is the same as a hard disk drive, which enables automatic performance of continuous, unadministered incremental data backups, as often as every 15 minutes, helping to minimize the potential for a company to lose data.
Security
Did you know that when you connect to the Internet, your business runs the risk of being targeted by malicious attacks from hackers, viruses, and spam? Computer security breaches are not uncommon, and can lead to the loss of information, time, money, and sometimes even a business itself.
IBM Lotus Foundations includes security services designed to protect your important information so that you can stay focused on business with minimal disruption.
Office Productivity
Compose Documents, Create Presentations and Build Spreadsheets. Lotus Symphony was voted office productivity software of the year for 2008 by Datamotion Magazine readers, beating out Microsoft Office, OpenOffice 2.3.1 and many other nominees.
Ease of Use
To stay focused on your business, you can’t afford spending time trying to manage your IT systems. The more complex your IT systems are, the more they can cost you in time, effort, and money to try to maintain. Lotus Foundations makes IT simple.
Lotus Foundations is a self-governing system that automates many critical tasks and provides proactive system checks, so no in-house IT staff is necessary. With self-configuring, self-managing, self-protecting, and self-healing features, your hands are off while the system automates configuration, adjusts itself according to workload demands, anticipates and defends against security breaches, and detects, diagnoses, and repairs potential issues.
Work How You Know best
Your team members know how they work best. To do their jobs effectively, they need to be free to use the tools to which they are accustomed. Because those tools come from a variety of places, Lotus Foundations is flexible and works with your existing IT infrastructure.
With Lotus Foundations, your team is empowered with the ability to use a variety of software, designed to minimize changes to the user experience, and subsequently, reduce changes in overall business productivity. For example, if your team is used to using Microsoft Outlook for email, then it can continue to use this software while still benefiting from the robustness, stability, and support of Lotus Domino.
Lotus Foundations. Simple choices. Powerful results. A perfect solution. |
