Why Ron Herardian thinks Notes and Domino are obsolete
DominoPower Magazine - August 2008
Every year since we started DominoPower, one or more of our most respected contributors have declared either Notes or Domino to be dead. It's gotten so that we can almost set our clocks by the damning declarations. Our experience, however, has been that the Lotus market is prospering. In any case, it's time for another view into doom and gloom by Ron Herardian, one of our most prolific contributors. Is he right? Let us know what you think. Needless to say, Ron's opinions are not those of DominoPower, its editors, ZATZ Publishing, or anyone who loves chocolate.


Why I STILL recommend Domino over Exchange
DominoPower Magazine - October 2007
In the United States, it seems that the decades-long Lotus-versus-Microsoft battle is long over. Certainly, it is no longer news. Microsoft Excel has all but replaced Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Office dominates corporate desktops compared with Lotus SmartSuite, and for a variety of reasons, more IT customers in the US use Microsoft Exchange and Outlook rather than Lotus Notes and Domino. But is Domino a technology belonging to the past? With 130 million licenses sold, it's hard to make that argument. In fact, Domino is the most important alternative to Microsoft Exchange today. Messaging expert Ron Herardian makes an important case for IBM to up its marketing effort and refine its strategy.

DominoPower Magazine - August 2007

Nigel's been in this business a long time. It's worth your time to read what he's got to say, and it may save you a whole lot of time, effort, and money in the long run. When seasoned Lotus Business Partners speak out, we recommend you listen.


What's really new with Domino Domain Monitoring?
DominoPower Magazine - January 2006
Is Domino Domain Monitoring really all that and a bag of chips? Philippe Schlier, CTO of GSX Groupware Solutions agrees that DDM does have its uses, but he's also not convinced all that's claimed to be new is really and truly new. In this penetrating analysis, Philippe looks closely at DDM and looks carefully at the DDM's marketing claims.


IBM, IBM wherefore art thou?

Survey reveals trends in Java use on Domino
DominoPower Magazine - March 2003
As the relationship between Domino and WebSphere grows ever closer, it's appropriate to ask the question, just how prevalent is the use of Java on Domino already? Global System Services Corporation conducted a fascinating survey of Java development on Domino in order to find out just how common the practice is, and we've got the results here.


Not another 'state of the Lotus Domino industry' article
DominoPower Magazine - September 2002
Those of you familiar with Ian Cherrill's previous work in DominoPower will know that his typical contributions are normally heavy, technical pieces.

You've seen articles like this in the past, but Ian tackles the issue from the perspective of a real hands-on user, with his own unique sense of humor.


How Notes can make a small firm big
DominoPower Magazine - August 2000
It's tough being a small fish in a big pond.

Domino goes wireless!
DominoPower Magazine - March 2000
To many people, the word "mobile" means lugging around a seven to ten pound notebook computer with another five pounds of gear, including everything from power supplies and spare batteries to network cables, telephone wires, and a jumble of connectors. In the past two to three years, two things have happened that could eventually save the backs, necks, and shoulders of mobile professionals from further abuse. If you're back's been a-hurtin', this article by technical editor Ron Herardian is a must read.


A Web browser development environment
DominoPower Magazine - November 1999
Developer Chris Stoner (a.k.a. GreenJellyBean after her RAV4) was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic one day (presumably in the same RAV4) and thought up a cool new feature she'd like to see in Notes and Domino: a development environment you can use from a Web browser? In this "idea paper", Chris shares her thoughts on this innovative idea.


If I ruled Lotus…
DominoPower Magazine - May 1999
Now that R5 is shipping, we (of course) have to ask Lotus, "What have you done for us lately?" Or more precisely, what are you doing next? Where exactly does the Notes/Domino dynamic duo need to go? What would you do if you "ruled" Lotus? OK, so Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz thought it would be fun to make everyone dye their hair green, but that's why we instead asked our intrepid Contributing Editor Jeffrey Burrows (a man with much more self control than our esteemed EiC), to take a stab at the future of R5 from an architectural perspective. And no…no pink hair either. Sorry, blue is also out.


Delay of R5 may spark new quality trend
DominoPower Magazine - March 1999
