What do you use to replace Lotus Notes workflow applications?

Answer 1

In your Dreams. Lotus Notes will forever be Lotus Notes

---

Lotus Notes has two main functions one is as an email client. This could be replaced by something like outlook or similar. The other is as a webform routing and database tool. There are severall more advance workflow engines on the market today found a places like http://www.webandflo.com or http://www.workflowpatterns.com/vendors. There is no method however to directly upgrade from Lotus notes and have your functionality preserved in some other system.

I'd like to add some information to this answer, while I don't think it is complete. I agree that Lotus Notes will remain, but the reality is that there is always a wave in companies who migrate from Lotus Notes to another platform .... and back after some years :)

Besides this, Lotus Notes has many functions, only describing mail and webform routing is not sufficient. The lists of possibilities is endless (workflow, instant messaging, web conferencing, mail and webmail, etc.

For companies who want to phase out there Lotus Domino environment (and for example workflow applications) we support them with our Notes to QOL service. Although the environment is phased out the content and the functionalities remain and it is suitable to cooperate with any type of platform.
