IBM Lotus® Notes® software combines with IBM Lotus® Domino® software to help improve user efficiency through intelligent email, calendaring and contact management - all within a modern, easy to use client interface
Tab navigation
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.
Speed email construction with automatic spell check - highlighting errors as users type. A type-ahead feature matches user input with their most recent contacts for fast addressing.

Team collaboration and personal file sharing
Integration with optionally available IBM Lotus Quickr™ software allows you to manage personal and team content directly from the always available Lotus Notes sidebar, helping to reduce email glut for individuals and organizations.
Save email attachments in shared or personal Lotus Quickr places, and send links to Lotus Quickr places instead.

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.
Select meeting times based on the availability of all or just required attendees. Users can accept or decline meeting invitations, propose alternate times, or delegate attendance to a colleague.

Contact management
Contact information within Lotus Notes 8 software helps users keep their network of colleagues close at hand, and enables them to quickly find people with key job responsibilities.
Maintain a variety of personal and professional data for a contact, including a photograph, and organize them in related groups and categories. Display a simplified view of a contact with just those fields where data is entered.

Out of office
When users are away from the office, they can direct Lotus Notes 8 software to 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.
