Lotus Notes is a collaborative client
server application. Earlier it was created by Lotus Development
Corporation in 1989 but later on it was obtained by IBM. This client
server platform is supported by Domino Server.
Generally all client-server
applications are specially designed for email communication but IBM
Lotus Notes is programmed not only for this but also add-ins,
add-ons, widgets, plug-ins and more, such as document management
systems, discussion forums, and various types of other business
applications.
