 Archiver for Notes

"The IONET Archiver for Notes/Domino product, has allowed us to create a hierarchy for email data. i.e. Online, (mail server), near-online, (Archive Server), and off line, CD/DVD storage. It also allows us to archive documents in our application databases, without having to do any design changes to the database templates. We have found the support from IONET to be second to none, and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."
Walter Pidwarko, Lotus Notes Administrator, Hastings Deering (Australia) Ltd.

"CB&I The Hague has evaluated the Symantec Enterprise Vault and EMC Mail Extender, with the Symantec system set up at CB&I for testing. Ultimately, the choice went for IONET Archiver for the following reasons;
  • The price of the IONET Archiver is significantly lower.
  • The IONET Archiver implementation is fully reversible, which is also the case for archived email databases.
  • The implementation period for the IONET Archiver is much shorter and CB&I personnel can perform this task independently.
  • The Symantec EV cannot archive mail files where there is no matching person document in the name and address book. We use mail-in databases for projects because you do not have to pay IBM licenses. Mail-in databases cannot be archived with Symantec EV."
Harry Horning, CB&I, The Netherlands.

"We have used the IONET archive solution because our production servers were at capacity, and installing a dedicated archive server & using the IONET Archiver provided us with a lower total cost than expanding our production servers. Another important factor is the native Domino aspect - this gives us more flexibility in installation and configuration and is a process we are familiar with. Also, it helps that we only need to add design elements to production databases, not change or delete anything. Lastly, the flexibility of the tool allows us to choose our own path as to how we archive data."
John van Loon, RijkZwaan, The Netherlands.

"To address its data storage issues, Iv-Groep BV implemented an e-mail archiving solution from IBM Business Partner IONET. The new IONET system archives e-mail from the existing Lotus environment based on the company’s demands. Once configured, the e-mail archive process runs automatically. The company can determine which e-mail messages are archived based on predetermined requirements, for example the age of messages.
Company employees can access archived e-mail messages as easily as before, and e-mail messages remain visible in employee mail file folders, because the archive database is connected to the mail file folders. Archived e-mail can be accessed via the Lotus Domino Message Server software, which hosts the IONET archive solution. The archive solution also offers Iv-Groep BV special search functionality that searches both archived and not archived e-mail messages, meaning that users are not impacted if a message is archived. The solution can be used for both personal and general e-mail databases.
As a result, Iv-Groep BV increased control over data growth in its Lotus environment, improving server performance and reducing backup times. The cost-effective, easy-to-manage solution allows the company to restrict when and how messages are archived, while also providing employees with easy access to archived messages. Furthermore, the solution was quick and easy to install."
Edwin de Priester, Iv-Groep B.V., The Netherlands.


 FT Search Manager

"Google-like search functionality is ubiquitous on the World Wide Web, and Notes/Domino has lagged behind in this area for many years. FT Search Manager now brings Notes & Domino into the 21st century with its simple configuration, easy-to-use interface, and customizable, intuitive search results ......In addition, the fact that FT Search Manager is completely Notes native makes it a snap to deploy with our existing solutions with no executables or third-party installers required. FT Search Manager is really the "killer app" we have been searching for.

Beyond the initial effectiveness of the tool, perhaps the most valuable aspect of doing business with IONET has been their willingness to customize the application to perform specific functionality. While this functionality is obscure and unlikely to be used widely, it is a tremendous benefit to most of our customers.

IONET's FT Search Manager allows us to meet a mission-critical need for several of our largest customers. IONET has provided a tool that we were A) unable to effectively develop in-house and B) unable to find from other IBM Business Partners or third-party vendors. I found nothing that can compare with FT Search Manager's flexibility, ease of use, stability, and quality of results. It is the only multi-database search tool I will recommend to associates or other businesses using Lotus Notes & Domino."
Brent Nye, Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, USA

"It's a great product at a great price and something everyone in the Notes/Domino community should be using."
Tom Markovich, Chicago Lotus Notes User Group (GRANITE).

"The FT Search Manager is exactly what our organization needed. The Domino domain search didn’t meet all of our requirements and didn't provide the user experience we wanted for staff on our intranet. We were unable to address some of these issues programmatically, and other solutions we looked at either didn’t meet our requirements or were cost prohibitive. The ability of this product to tightly integrate with Lotus Notes/Domino, search by field, and display the results in a browser-friendly manner make this product a winner. The efficiency created by the software allows us to save resources and direct those resources towards building a better world for children."
Mike Nichols, Intranet Editor, World Vision United States.

"This is fantastic. I think the changes you implemented make this an even more useful tool. Thanks a lot."
Tom Sheridan, I.T. Director, Gas Technology Institute, Illinois, USA.

"Thanks for the constant care for my application. This is exquisite customer service."
Tedy Abramovici, International Financial Data Services, Toronto, Canada.

"Once again you guys have a great product."
Dennis Gardin, Union Central Life Insurance, Ohio, USA.

"Excellent Product - Excellent Service."
John Phillipsen, IT Manager, CSC Denmark.


 Workflow Manager

"The Workflow Manager is easy to implement and has a logical structure. We've implemented it in 5 databases (Products db, Activity db, etc...). It saved me and others a lot of time. Management can see the benefit of a good workflow. I hope (as Head of the Development Group) that we will implement it in about 75 databases the coming year"
Jaimy van der Spoel, AHKC Netherlands.

"I am very impressed with the richness and versatility of your Workflow Manager"
Andrew Sadler, Developer Global Solutions, Flint Group, USA.

"With Workflow Manager I sense a willingness to communicate and work with me that I find shockingly refreshing. Really. I've wanted to purchase your product over some of the more established commercial Workflow systems just on the openness of your company, but add in the polish, versatility, and directness of Workflow Manager, plus it's reasonable price, and it became my top choice."
William Peak, consultant to a Fortune 500 Company, US.

"I think the product is great and it has saved me a ton of development man hours...best support for an application I've ever had."
Ray Padilla, Project Specialist, Fortune 500 Company, USA.

"The engine works without problems. The Notes developer is able to fully adapt the form and views to the wishes of the client and users. The workflow steps are managed by the use of configuration documents. A nice feature is the delegation profiles. When an approver becomes ill the database manager is able to assign a new approver in order to allow the workflow to continue. The tool allows a separation between the Developer and Application Manager responsibilities. The Application Manager is able to manage the workflow configurations, email settings and delegation settings. Overall we are pleased with this product"
Marten Vosmer, ABB Lummus Global, The Netherlands.

"The Workflow Manager has proved invaluable in producing a number of consistent Workflow applications that our customers and developers can easily follow"
John McCawe, Application and Technical Services Manager, New Zealand Ministry of Health.

"Using the Workflow Manager in our Parliamentary Ministerials Tracking System allowed us to produce our solution much faster, as the workflow was already taken care of"
Kishor Chauhan, Team Leader IT Applications, New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs.


 Change Manager

"The software is really doing it's job for us. We used to have lots of unidentified/unexplained changes, now we have none."
Walter Pidwarko, Lotus Notes Administrator, Hastings Deering (Australia) Ltd.

"With such a large domain to keep track of, it has eased the ability to see when changes are made and what they have affected, and who the changes have been made by. Very easy to implement too, which was encouraging. Highly recommended."
Rachael Trudgeon, Domino Administrator, New Zealand Ministry of Health.

"I like the change logging. Now when something doesn't work and a programmer asks what changed, I can show them. It is also nice to see what is different in the INI file when setting up a new server."
Norman Sprunger, Mennonite Mutual Aid, US.

"An excellent tool to monitor and follow all security-relevant issues like Administration groups and security settings in the server documents. Another really impressive function is the Comparison-tool. You are able to compare notes.ini's and directly open them without opening the original notes.ini on the server. But the most valuable thing from IONET is the support. Although we are in different time-zones (New Zealand <-> Germany) the response to questions/problems is extremely fast!"
Sascha Witt, Olympus Europe, Germany.

"One of the best products I have tested for Lotus Domino."
Ingo Kloos, Computerservice Kloos, Germany.


 Spam Manager

"We had Spam Manager implemented within 15 minutes in our test mail file. Very easy to implement and very easy to use. Can easily be applied to virtually any of the mail templates or files. I have instantly eliminated 100% of spam to my mail box and by using the button to add addresses of existing senders in my mail file to the white list, people who I had already received mail from did not even have to respond to a challenge email. What more can you want in a free product"
Jonathan Thomsen, Director, Bill Buddy PTY Ltd, Queensland, Australia.

"If you’re looking to stop Spam in its tracks, look no further. Spam Manager is simply the ‘best of breed’ challenge-response utility available for Notes. No other product, commercial or otherwise, comes close to delivering the rich feature set of Spam Manager. My compliments to IONET for developing such a simple, yet robust utility.
Dawson Rodriguez Jr., Executive VP & CIO, FDLIC, Abilene, TX USA.

"Just installed this tool. Brilliant."
Ted Ryan, CEO, Ryan Corp, Ontario, Canada.

"Your program is marvellous."
Gary Ashford, CEO, EMSpec, Saratoga, USA.
