TOOL TIME: X-Ray Vision for the Notes Administrator

Original presentation date: June 18th, 2009
Speaker: John Kingsley

What would happen if...

• Users got access to sensitive data by convoluted nested groups....
• You had to find who deleted/changed an important document...
• Already taxed system resources were bogged down with unused applications..
• Default access was mistakenly set at higher than reader on critical apps...

Not good? Superman had x-ray vision. Unfortunately most of us aren't so lucky. Particularly when it comes to understanding exactly what's going on within all of our many applications. This Tool Time presentation talks about the benefits of real-time user and ACL reporting and will specifically discusses how you can address and prevent these and other Notes administration nightmares. Products featured include Security Manager and Usage Monitor.

Webinar: Virtuosity vs. Versions - Version Management for Lotus Notes

Original presentation date: June 10, 2009
Speakers: Grant Norman (Teamstudio) & James Hayes (Greif, Inc.)

We've all heard of musical virtuosos like Mozart and Beethoven, but should it take a development virtuoso to get through your organization's application development process?

Developing applications--from major updates to minor bug fixes--can be inefficient and confusing without having a reliable version management process in place. However, the wrong type of version management system can end up stifling developer creativity by relying on processes that call for the structure and discipline of an accountant. How can you strike a balance between good controls and red tape?

This webinar discusses how you can implement version management without introducing overblown processes that frustrate your development team. Topics covered will include:

• Database Versioning
• Element Versioning
• Differential Analysis
• Rollback
• Teamworking
• Branching & Merging
• Teamstudio CIAO!
• CIAO! Customer Story

Webinar: Preparing for Change - Upgrades & Consolidations

Original presentation date: February 18th, 2009
Speaker: Matthew Fyleman & Rocky Oliver

Now, more than ever, companies are choosing to streamline and enhance their existing application platforms rather than shift to new ones. For many organizations this means upgrading to Notes 8.x, weeding out redundant applications and consolidating to fewer servers.

How do you determine which applications are being used, where built-in dependencies lie, and if critical applications are R8 compatible? Now, do this across hundreds, or maybe thousands of Notes databases distributed across many servers. Where do you begin?

This session aims to answer these and more questions, and to provide you with a viable and cost effective option for dealing with such change.
