HCL Nomad: Revolutionising Access to Lotus Notes Applications

HCL Nomad represents a significant step forward in the technological renewal of business applications built on HCL Domino. It is a platform designed to allow organisations to continue using their existing Lotus Notes applications — while achieving a significant reduction in TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

This translates into substantial cost savings for businesses, as it eliminates the costs associated with maintaining and updating the IT infrastructure required to run these applications.

With the release of version 14, codenamed "Thames", HCL Nomad further enhanced its capabilities, enabling access to applications from any device — including smartphones and tablets — without requiring the installation of the HCL Notes client. The entire platform runs directly in the browser.

The impact of this transformation is not to be underestimated: the ability to access applications via browser makes the entire corporate infrastructure more flexible and accessible. Employees can now work from anywhere, improving operational efficiency and enabling the remote and mobile working that has become essential for many organisations.

In short, HCL Nomad not only preserves the value of applications developed for Lotus Notes — it makes them more accessible, scalable and modern. Thanks to its new architecture, businesses can dramatically reduce costs without sacrificing the functionality that has made Domino a cornerstone for so many organisations over the years.
