Putting a spotlight on the most remarkable Notes applications: the Teamstudio Spotlight Award Winners 2009
By Craig Schumann
During the fall of 2007, several of my colleagues and I were discussing the challenges that were being met by our technical directors out in the field. The problem they seemed to run into, again and again, was that as organizations changed management, the incoming leadership would often take one look at Lotus Notes and set out a mission to change platforms. And Lotus Notes' 90s-era UI didn't do much to help this situation -- it's not exactly what most people would call "sexy" at first glance.
But more simply, the problem lay in the fact that most management just didn't understand what remarkable things Notes was really capable of. Someone needed to show these executives and the rest of IT what people were doing with Notes and Domino that made it stand out as an application development platform. Why shouldn't Teamstudio be that "someone"?
"A gleaming example of the power and flexibility Notes provides that has been supporting thousands of users for years, and was delivered in virtually no time at all."

Well, not exactly. We decided to leave the hard work up to everyone else and thus, the first ever Teamstudio Spotlight Awards contest was born in 2008. After an amazing response in 2008, we decided to hold the contest for a second time in 2009. We were surprised and wowed, yet again, by both the outstanding quality and quantity of entries we received.
The Teamstudio "Spotlight" Awards 2009
We asked entrants to submit a brief write-up about their application, which we would use to rate the application on 5 criteria: (1) complexity of task performed, (2) degree of automation, (3) size of user community, (4) business value, and (5) creativity and innovation of design.
Wanting the contest to be as open and independent as possible, we called on the talents of some truly remarkable people in their own right: Joe Litton, Bruce Elgort, Julian Robichaux, and Bill Buchan.
The contest judging was not easy by any means. Separately, each judge gave each entry a numerical score from 0 to 5 on each of the criteria before all scores were tallied and compared, and the top 5 entries selected as finalists.
