Collaboration Services Chief architect, and inventor, of IBM Domino XPages

Agenda• The Domino Applications Challenge• Introduction to Darwino• Darwino in Action

The Issue with Domino Applications• Domino is a great platform running many business critical apps

But users have new requirements (web, mobile, social…)

• The CIO challenge: Investment in the platform is decreasing, when not cancelled Skilled developers are rare and expensive Most of these applications were built years/decades ago,

targeting the Notes client, and are very hard to maintain

• “Automated Migration” is a lure that does not effectively fully solve the problem

Towards the Ideal Solution• Keep your existing infrastructure untouched and running, while

providing a true new user experience Mobile access with offline access Incrementally add new features, while keeping the existing ones Avoid any disruption to your users base

• Create a new application, based on state-of-the-art, non proprietary technologies, leveraging the existing Domino apps

Seamlessly leverage the existing data and business logic

• Optimize your infrastructure costs by moving to the cloud

Introduction to Darwino• Full stack of components: back-end, runtime, studio…

Supports all platforms: web, mobile native or hybrid applications, IOT Advanced hybrid and native architecture for the best mobile user

experience

• Provides high performance JSON document store Replicates between servers and devices, including third party DBs

• Advanced Domino connector with full fidelity, 2 way replication

• Encapsulate many services within comprehensive and portable APIs (user profiles, communities, files…), with offline cache

• Focus on Java as the portable language for the business logic

Darwino for Domino• A Lifeline for Domino customers and developers

Make your existing applications match the current user expectations Leverage your existing infrastructure instead of replacing it Reuse existing assets and skills on top of ‘state of the art’

technologies Domino developers feel ‘at home’ right from the beginning Removes many existing Domino barriers (skills, performance,

scalability, capabilities…) Use the best technologies, based on your skills, needs and desires

WebGate’s Time Application• Working with our partner WebGate on enhancing their current time

management application Need a true mobile experience for the employees on the go

• Typical Notes client only application Cannot currently replicate locally because of agents. Also requires

selective replication, and replication conflicts handling Lots of business logic, including workflow Data model evolved over time, leading to inconsistent data in

documents Highly customized and no path to upgrade to a more recent version

DemoFrom To

Time Application Key Points• True 2-Way replication from Domino to Darwino and Darwino to

the Mobile Device• Simplification in the daily time reporting leads to more accurate

data, because the recording of effort is done when it happens and not hours or days later!

• It consolidates 4 NSF Containers with different data to one Darwino Application. This allows for:

Realtime reporting (Darwino is incredibly fast!) New feature requests that are not limited by the Notes client

capabilities

We at WebGate love Darwino because• It supports the #NewWayToDevelop• It is feature rich but still lightweight and really straitforward• It gives XPages or Domino Application not only an new Life, it

gives to this application a new VITALITY

• And Darwino is still 5 Years ahead of the time!

Christian GüedemannCTO of WebGate

Darwino is Domino’s Best Friend• Darwino provides a new vitality to your existing applications

Mobile, cloud, social, data analytics…

• Darwino applications work seamlessly with your existing Domino infrastructure instead of replacing it

• Darwino leverages your developer skills, while removing the existing Domino limitations by providing a state-of-the-art technology stack

• Darwino is your easiest path to the future New generation of applications, IOT…
