Domino has never been a mere medium for the publication of static pages, or "brochureware." From the beginning, Domino has represented a more dynamic and more powerful vision of collaborative and document-based computing -- greater than what the originators of the web had foreseen.

Then, several years ago, Lotus toppled the proprietary barrier. Lotus brought its expansive vision of collaborative, document-based computing to the web.

The result is Lotus Domino, a uniquely powerful product and the standards-based platform of choice. It can perform a phenomenal range of Internet, intranet, and extranet applications. Domino can handle everything from business productivity applications -- the workhorses of the corporate intranet -- to the complex and multi-dimensional corporate website. CORBA, the infrastructure of distributed object computing, is now integrated into Domino.

When Lotus Notes / Domino is used in conjunction with IBM's WebSphere, they can each draw on the strengths of the other. Domino can invoke WebSphere servlets which can then access DB2 or Oracle databases. WebSphere can access Domino as a data store or Domino's replication, automation and presentation capabilities.
