Synopsis

In today's regulatory climate, companies cannot afford to have applications developed, or data housed, outside the boundaries of corporate oversight. Application failures lead to business process interruptions and lost revenue, and Lotus Notes applications address real needs. Their usefulness is reflected in the fact that many Fortune 500 companies have a significant investment in Lotus Notes and Notes applications. The trick is to tame Lotus Notes development, but not to break its spirit - to provide Just Enough IT Governance to protect the company, without discouraging Lotus Notes development altogether. This book provides a set of policies and procedures designed to strike this balance, to provide Just Enough Governance for Lotus Notes. Firstly, it presents an IT governance philosophy for Lotus Notes that can protect the company without stifling developer initiative. Secondly, it gives IT staff and Notes developers a blueprint to implement IT governance processes and principles in the Lotus Notes environment. And finally, it takes a clear-sighted look at the future evolution of Notes and of IT governance. With the best practices presented here, you can create a governance process as agile as Notes itself, so that your business and Notes applications will prosper together for many years to come. This book is written by Craig Schumann who is Senior Vice President of R&D for Teamstudio. He has almost 12 years of experience with Lotus Notes and Domino®, and has worked with Notes going back to R4. Before Teamstudio, he worked at IBM/Lotus.
