How to Continue Working from Anywhere — and Grow Your Business

28. April 2023 Posted by Dan Allen

How to Continue Working from Anywhere — and Grow Your Business

Employees want the ability to work from anywhere — their mobile phone, their kitchen table, or the company’s physical office. Flexibility is now key for hiring and retaining talent.

In a 2022 survey of currently employed people, FlexJobs found that more than half (57%) said they would leave their jobs if they don’t get remote work options. This means, your organization depends on your employees being able to access the apps they require to do their jobs from wherever they like.

Providing this ability, however, may feel challenging. IT departments’ to-do lists are overflowing with tasks and projects. At the same time, many organizations are facing budget cuts and finding the time to research new tools simply doesn’t exist.

There’s an easy answer to this conundrum. Companies are increasingly discovering that there’s a tool that solves many of these challenges — HCL Domino Nomad.

Make everyone an app developer

With the recent upgrade to v12, HCL Domino modernized its ecosystem and created a powerful tool that helps your organization adapt to today’s workforce needs: Your employees need quick access to their apps to manage projects, serve clients, and help your business grow.

In addition to having the ability to access current apps, employees require new apps that digitize previously manual processes, make it possible to work from anywhere, and save time. Domino helps you to make your existing apps web- and mobile-ready with just a few clicks through a desktop, tablet, mobile phone, or web browser. You can quickly deliver the apps to Apple iPhone and iPad, Android tablets, and Chrome OS.

Because the latest Domino version also can help create web apps, employees can access their apps from any web browser. Instead of waiting weeks for the tools they need, your team has the apps they need in minutes.

As employees see the productivity gains and improved flexibility of mobile apps, it’s likely that you will quickly see requests for new apps to streamline your organizational processes and tasks.

Domino makes it easy for even non-developers to create new apps in 70% less time. Because technical skills aren’t needed, employees can take control of their own processes and feel empowered to make improvements in their work.

Gain efficiency with no required client upgrades

Previously, an installation of Domino Notes Client was required to create apps and databases. The newest version of Domino allows you to run Notes applications in a standard browser — or even on a mobile phone.

With the new version, your IT staff can reduce their management responsibilities, as there’s no longer a need to upgrade clients or provide desktop support.

Because the new version runs clientless, IT teams can significantly reduce the time and resources spent managing applications. Fewer help tickets mean your IT team can focus on digital transformation and other customer-facing projects.

Provide flexibility for your workforce

Domino takes the work-from-anywhere concept to a totally new level.

The platform works in the offline mode when there’s no internet or an unreliable connection, so your employees can continue to work even on an oil drilling rig or a cruise ship. Once they get to a location that has a network connection, they can upload their work and synchronize the changes.

Your team can also tailor their experience based on their preferences and needs, such as building apps that access their device’s camera, files, location, and native mobile gestures. You can also restyle older apps to update the interface to make it easier to use or give it a more modern appearance. To save even more time, you can update multiple apps at the same time.

Many organizations mistakenly assume they need multiple solutions — an ERP system, a CRM, and an HR system. With HCL Domino, you can use your existing tool to create situation apps and workflows that help you solve your biggest business challenges.

The Next Big Milestone for Organizations: A Better Employee Experience

27. April 2023 Posted by Demetrios Nerris

The Next Big Milestone for Organizations: A Better Employee Experience

For years customer experience has reigned supreme in the boardroom. As organizations have learned how to leverage data to improve business outcomes, they placed a strong focus on pleasing customers. That makes sense but employees deserve great experiences too, and organizations that provide them become measurably more productive and profitable.

In fact, organizations that optimize the employee experiences outperform S&P 500 companies by 122%. It’s hard to ignore this metric. But what makes it achievable? It comes down to the tools you put at the disposal of workers so they can access, use and share content to better do their jobs and advance their careers.

The corporate intranet is at the center of it all. Set up properly, it makes for a happier, more dynamic and productive workforce. As HCL executives recently discussed in this video about creating a successful employee experience, getting it right requires investing in the right digital experience platform (DXP) — one that connects people across the organization to work, communicate, and collaborate.

The platform should make it easy for employees to find answers to their questions on topics that interest them, such as HR policies, sick leave, travel guidelines, and finding subject matter experts within the organization. A platform with the right levels of functionality can empower employees to make them feel good about their work and their contribution to the organization. It makes for motivated, gratified workers.

Four Key Ingredients
The right DXP enables the creation of a rapidly evolving, hyperconnected ecosystem that encourages participation and collaboration across the enterprise. With that in mind, the platform requires four essential capabilities:

  • Engagement — Provide meaningful personalized content that motivates employees to seek, use and share content.
  • Connectivity — Provide links that allow employees to engage with each other to share common interests and address needs.
  • Access — Enable a single point of access for all applications that employees need, and personalize access to match employee roles and duties.
  • Collaboration — Make it easy for employees to collaborate and share information so they can do their jobs better, individually and collectively.

While all four ingredients are essential, the importance of engagement cannot be overstated. Engagement goes beyond what happens to the user; it requires action by the user — press a button, click a link, read something, email content to a coworker.

That’s achievable only if the content is timely and relevant. It has meaning because it matches their personal interests, helps them complete tasks, or connects them with another employee with similar interests. Often employee experiences fall short because they don’t drive engagement.

Centralized Platform
To drive engagement, a company’s intranet must be designed properly, so architecture is key. With HCL, organizations can create a central repository for all employee self-service operations and integration with productivity tools such as Microsoft Office 365. This gives people quick access to what they need through a single point of contact.

Switching between multiple screens and websites to get content is frustrating. And, unfortunately, all too common. Consider that in the past three years, the number of applications organizations use increased by 68%. Companies have an average of 129 applications, and individual employees access a whopping 72 applications to do their jobs. If those applications aren’t easily accessible from a centralized portal, the result isn’t hard to figure out — it’s a whole lot of wasted time [Link to the other blog]

In addition to silo-busting, HCL DX has built-in intelligence for continual self-improvement. Using behavior analytics, the platform tracks and interprets user interactions to tailor the experience to everyone. So, every time the employee logs in, the experience gets better and better. The use of intelligent chatbots enables conversational interactions, further enhancing the experience.

And the better the experience, the happier the employee will be, knowing that whenever they need content, it is readily available, meaningful, and relevant.

Employee Experience Is Key to Digital Transformation Success

27. April 2023 Posted by Demetrios Nerris

Employee Experience Is Key to Digital Transformation Success

While just about every company today has a digital transformation strategy, most struggle to generate successful outcomes. The Harvard Business Review estimates that 87.5% of digital transformations “fail to meet their original objectives.”

Reasons for such a low success rate vary, but one area that merits significantly more attention from enterprise decision-makers is employee experience. After all, companies have a lot riding on how well their employees can do their jobs.

Employees that enjoy great experiences at work help their companies reach new performance heights. Research shows that companies providing great experiences outperform S&P enterprises by 122%. This means organizations not only create a better working environment for their workforce, but also help themselves in a measurable way.

Wasted Time
Currently, too many organizations are falling short when it comes to employee experience. A recent survey found employees spend 25% of their time searching for information because they have to navigate multiple applications for a single business process. It’s wasted time that can never be recovered and ultimately hurts the bottom line.

It’s frustrating for employees, cutting into their productivity and eroding the gratification they should get from a job well done. If employees are spending that much time just looking for information, it is clear that the organization needs to make changes.

With that in mind, companies should make employee experience a priority for their digital transformations. They should be enabling agile methods for task completion. And that means investing in intelligent tools such as a digital experience platform (DXP) that centralizes systems, data and content and learns user habits to continually improve the employee experience.

Workers shouldn’t have to spend 10 minutes trying to find a link to HR policies or an application they need for a specific task. And they won’t have to if they can leverage AI automation and self-service portals providing quick access to relevant content.

The need for these capabilities is urgent. Over the past three years, the average number of applications an employee uses to execute their work rose 68%. Employees on average come across 72 applications in their day-to-day experience. Juggling that much software is time-consuming, and it explains how a fifth of the workday can be lost to the simple task of searching for the correct application.

Changing Expectations
The need for great employee experiences is also urgent for another reason – expectations have dramatically changed. Employees want easy access to digital assets that provide meaningful content relevant to their jobs. They want tools that enable collaboration with other workers in other teams and to make important contributions to the organization’s mission. Having the ability to do so helps get them noticed, boosting their chances of success in their jobs and enhancing career advancement prospects.

In a recent Microsoft poll, 59% of respondents said the collaboration tools they use are misaligned with their teams’ work preferences. Furthermore, 64% said the tools don’t integrate with company processes such as marketing, finance and sales. And 72% said they would like collaboration tools that are compatible with one another because, otherwise, it’s difficult to work with other teams.

All these wishes can be fulfilled with the right DXP — one that centralizes access to everything, from HR policies to business applications to web-based resources. The right DXP delivers personalized experiences so that when an employee logs in, the person is recognized. This eliminates the frustration of getting notifications to sign up for services a person already has. Or wasting valuable time trying to remember how to access a particular application.

DXP software enables collaboration and links employees across corporate groups to share information, learn from each other, and complete tasks together. Advanced DXP solutions have built-in intelligence to personalize experiences. So, each time a user logs in, the platform learns a little more about the individual to make content more relevant and targeted each time.

As organizations undergo digital transformation, they stand to benefit significantly from enhancing the employee experience. Doing so increases the chances of success for the transformation overall so that organizations can better compete in the digital economy.

Why Low Code is Key to Digital Transformation

21. April 2023 Posted by Richard Jefts

Why Low Code is Key to Digital Transformation

Low code is revolutionizing the way organizations do business. We all hear, every day, how important speed is or how we need to be moving faster. Low code empowers companies to develop and deploy innovative solutions quickly and efficiently. This translates to faster time-to-market, improved agility, and increased customer satisfaction. Moreover, low-code platforms help bridge the gap between IT and business teams, fostering collaboration and streamlining workflows. This translates to more efficient and effective solutions that align much more closely with business objectives. We see this today with citizen applications being built by anyone at the organization first, after which IT can use what’s been started to build enterprise-grade, low-code applications.

Low-code platforms can be used to develop a wide range of solutions, from simple mobile apps to complex enterprise applications. They offer a range of benefits, including faster development times, reduced costs, improved collaboration, and more efficient workflows. It’s no wonder that they’ve become an increasingly popular choice for businesses looking to accelerate their digital transformation efforts.

According to Gartner, by 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity. In a survey conducted by Forrester, 23% of respondents said they have already implemented low-code platforms, while another 22% said they plan to do so in the next 12 months. The same Forrester survey found that organizations that use low-code platforms report a sixfold increase in speed of application development. This demonstrates the growing importance of low-code platforms in driving digital transformation across industries. I want to emphasize that 2024 is literally right around the corner.

Low-code platforms enable developers to build applications using a visual drag-and-drop interface, reducing the need for coding expertise and speeding up development times. By eliminating these complexities, low-code platforms empower developers and business users alike to create digital solutions without being hindered by technical limitations.

One of the key advantages of low-code platforms is their ability to improve agility and flexibility in software development. With traditional software development methods, updating a project requires significant effort and time: developers must modify the code, test the changes, and then deploy the updated software. In contrast, low-code platforms make it easier to adapt to changing requirements by enabling users to make changes to applications quickly and efficiently.

In addition to their speed and flexibility, low-code platforms can also help reduce costs by reducing the need for specialized developers and IT personnel. Because low-code platforms don’t require the specialized expertise that traditional software development demands, enterprises can draw on a wider pool of talent to create digital solutions. This can lead to significant cost savings, particularly for smaller businesses or organizations with limited IT resources. It also frees up the best of your IT talent to focus on higher-value initiatives.

Low-code platforms are not without challenges. As with any new technology, there may be concerns around security and data protection, particularly for enterprises that routinely handle sensitive data. It’s important for organizations to carefully evaluate the security and compliance capabilities of low-code platforms before adopting them. You need to work with proven vendors that have rock-solid solutions.

At HCLSoftware, we’re committed to empowering businesses by providing the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive market. Our low-code platform offers a powerful yet user-friendly — and secure — environment enabling businesses to develop and deploy solutions quickly and efficiently, without the need for specialized coding skills. By leveraging our low-code platform, businesses can focus on delivering value to their customers, driving innovation, and achieving their digital transformation goals. All with speed!!

Our application development platforms provide more than 10 million applications to enterprises globally to keep their businesses running.

Why Is Secure Collaboration in the Digital Age So Important?

21. April 2023 Posted by Richard Jefts

Why Is Secure Collaboration in the Digital Age So Important?

Of the factors needed to support an effective digital transformation, one is indispensable: Without employee buy-in, no digital transformation will succeed. To attain the level of engagement needed to transform your business, you must empower your teams to work in new ways that make sense for them. Providing secure collaboration tools is thus an essential step toward implanting a truly digital work culture in your organization. Think about the importance of the information we exchange every day between email, text, social media, etc. We speak about financials, customers, employees, acquisitions, and other valuable information that needs to be kept safe. If this information of all things is not secure then fundamentally, we are exposed and not being good shepherds for our customers, partners, investors or employees. Keeping our information secure is required — and expected — when we are collaborating.

Gaps and deficits in organizational culture can be a major barrier to digital success, as McKinsey showed in a study that identified increased collaboration — along with customer-centricity and calculated risk-taking — as a must-have behavioral shift for organizations embarking on a successful digital transformation. A later study by McKinsey showed “how, and by how much, digitizing tools and processes can support success” by enabling employees to work in new ways — and called out three specific changes as essential:

  • Adopting digital tools to make information more accessible across the organization — which, according to the study, more than doubles the likelihood of a successful transformation.
  • Deploying “digital self-serve technologies” for employees and/or business partners.
  • Modifying standard operating procedures to incorporate new technologies.

Beyond these three elements, McKinsey found that “an increase in data-based decision making and in the visible use of interactive tools” could also more than double the likelihood of digital transformation success.

So, with this in mind, what key attributes are needed for secure collaboration tools to engage employees effectively and help to create a cultural shift in your organization? What concrete capabilities will win your teams over and give your organization the digital momentum you’re looking for? Here are some of the ways in which secure collaboration tools enable teams to work together efficiently and effectively — while also securing sensitive data.

Increasing productivity — Secure collaboration tools help teams work together more efficiently, reducing the time required to complete tasks and increasing overall productivity. For example, cloud-based collaboration platforms allow team members to work on documents in real time, from anywhere, without worrying about version control issues or emailing files back and forth.

Enabling remote work — The pandemic accelerated the shift towards remote work, and secure collaboration tools became essential for enabling teams to work together from different locations. With the right tools in place, remote workers can collaborate just as effectively as they would in an office setting, without compromising the security of sensitive data.

Enhancing communication — Collaboration tools improve communication between team members, keeping everyone on the same page and working toward the same goals. By providing a centralized platform for communication, they make it easy for team members to share information and feedback, reducing the risk of miscommunication and misunderstandings.

Ensuring security — Digital transformation often involves the use of sensitive data, and it’s essential that this data is kept secure throughout the collaboration process. Secure collaboration tools use encryption and other security measures to protect data from unauthorized access or interception, reducing the risk of data breaches or other security incidents.

Facilitating compliance — Compliance with data privacy and security regulations is becoming increasingly important, and secure collaboration tools can help organizations meet these requirements. By providing features like access controls, audit logs, and data retention policies, collaboration tools make it easier for organizations to demonstrate compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.

Transformation is disruptive by nature, and seamlessly providing multiple channels for sharing and communication in a safe way can be a challenge for any organization. Nevertheless, secure collaboration is an indispensable aspect of any digital transformation process — both technically and at a business level. Enabling teams to work together efficiently and securely is essential for digital transformation. Regardless of the location or the type of data they are working with. By investing in secure collaboration tools, organizations can ensure that they are able to collaborate effectively around any information and from anywhere in our rapidly changing digital landscape.

Nachbericht DNUG Online Domino

21. April 2023 Posted by Marketing

Für den zurückliegenden DNUG Online Domino hatten wir uns als Fachgruppe eine Menge vorgenommen. Daniel Nashed und ich hatten uns vorgenommen über Automatisierung im Notes/Domino Kosmos zu sprechen, da uns in der Vergangenheit immer wieder aufgefallen war, dass Administratoren und Anwender die Möglichkeiten der Plattform selten oder nie in dem Umfang nutzen, die sie ihnen bietet. 

Bei diesem Workshop sollte aber nicht nur zugehört, sondern selbst Hand angelegt werden. Allen Teilnehmern wurde hierfür ein HandsOn-System zur Verfügung gestellt, mit dem der praktische Teil durchgeführt werden konnte.

Die Teilnehmer waren hoch motiviert und obwohl es ein langer Tag war, bis zum Schluss konzentriert. Und so haben wir es geschafft, diesen thematisch vollen Tag (OneTouch Setup, Docker, Security und SSL, Backup, Git, MarvelClient Essentials, Maintanance, etc) zu bewältigen.

Ein besonderes Dankeschön möchte ich an Daniel Nashed richten, der wie immer viel Arbeit und Mühe in die Vorbereitung des Workshops gesteckt hat.

Gerne möchte ich noch etwas loswerden, das uns als Fachgruppe sehr am Herzen liegt. Wir möchten weiter spannende und interessante Themen für alle Teilnehmer anbieten und freuen uns daher über jeden Wunsch, der uns erreicht! Also habt bitte keine Scheu, sondern konfrontiert uns mit Euren Wünschen!

In diesem Sinne freue ich mich auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen, spätestens auf unserer Jubiläumskonferenz der #dachnug50.

Für die Fachgruppe Domino, Euer Marc Thomas

Vorstellung DNUG Stammtisch Hamburg

18. April 2023 Posted by Marketing

Nach einer längeren Ruhepause werden wir am 11. Mai den in der Region Hamburg bestens bekannten Hamburger-Notes-Netzwerk-Stammtisch reaktivieren. HANNE hat als eigenständige Community über die Jahre insgesamt sage und schreibe 158 Veranstaltungen durchgeführt und wird nun – gemeinsam sind wir stärker – wieder in die Reihe der regionalen DNUG-Stammtische aufgenommen.

Obwohl damals noch nicht von HANNE die Rede war, begonnen hat die Geschichte bereits 1999. Norbert Schulz, ein im damaligen Notes-Umfeld sehr aktives Hamburger DNUG-Beiratsmitglied, initiierte den ersten „DNUG Regionalstammtisch“ am 27. Mai 1999. Auf dem Programm damals: ein Rundgang durch St. Pauli mit anschließender Einkehr in die Gaststätte „Silbersack“.

Die gut besuchte Veranstaltung wurde regelmäßig wiederholt und schon bald scharte Norbert drei Unterstützer um sich, um das Ganze auf längerfristig tragbare Beine zu stellen. Das Konzept hat bis 2006 bestens funktioniert, und allen TeilnehmerInnen sind die Veranstaltungen noch in bester Erinnerung. Viele Kontakte und Freundschaften wurden geschlossen.

Im Rückblick durchaus etwas befremdliche Entscheidungen des damaligen DNUG-Vorstands führten 2006 dazu, dass sich die Hamburger Community nach Stammtisch 61 verselbständigte, und so wurde das „Hamburger Notes Netzwerk“ geboren. Auch ohne DNUG wurde die Reihe von Veranstaltungen überaus erfolgreich fortgesetzt. Zwei der ursprünglichen Unterstützer – Jürgen Kunert und Gerald Peters – sind bis heute aktiv dabei.

Den vorläufigen Schlusspunkt setzte dann allerdings Corona. Wie viele andere Vereinigungen musste auch HANNE Anlässe absagen oder auf Online umstellen. Dass „Online“ und „Stammtisch“ nicht wirklich gut zusammenpassen, musste auch die DNUG erkennen. Aus dieser Erkenntnis heraus sind die nun D-A-CH-weit organisierten regionalen DNUG-Stammtische entstanden, in die sich der HANNE-Stammtisch nun per 11. Mai einreiht.

Wir als DNUG freuen uns auf diese wertvolle Erweiterung unserer Community, sei ganz herzlich willkommen liebe HANNE.

Headless Content Management: What Is It, Its Benefits and Implications for You

17. April 2023 Posted by HCL Digital Experience (APAC)

A person holding a light bulb Description automatically generated with medium confidence

The current buzzword in the world of MACH, CMS, web tech, and Martech publications is “headless”. However, do you truly understand what it means, its benefits and its implications?

Let’s begin by defining what we mean by a headless CMS. According to Wikipedia, “A headless CMS only consists of the content component, which focuses solely on the administrative interface for content creators, content workflows and collaboration facilitation, and organizing content into taxonomies.”

Therefore, a headless CMS must be combined with a separate presentation layer to handle design, site structure, and templates. This combination usually relies on stateless or loosely coupled APIs, as illustrated below:

A headless CMS

In our experience, most vendors of headless CMS focus on the following attributes of headless:

  • RESTful APIs
  • Microservices architecture
  • Multi-channel publishing

Additionally, the entire stack may be provided by an “as a Service (aaS)” platform. Now that we have established what we mean by “headless CMS,” let’s delve into its implications.

Benefits of Implementing Headless CMS

When in doubt, check out the industry standard, as set forth by Gartner. This illustration below outlines Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Platform as a Service (PaaS), 2020. You can see API-Centric (headless) SaaS, just on the edge of the “Peak of Inflated Expectations.”

Benefits of Implementing Headless CMS

It’s true…headless implementation in your tech stack (the separation of the presentation layer from everything else) can do several clever things for your business. Its most common claims are that it:

  • Gives greater front-end flexibility for more creativity and design agility
  • To some extent can future-proof your stack. This means you can more easily add new channels and swap out other tech components without affecting the pblic presentation of your product or company.
  • Improves the content personalization and re-use while it speeds up the content creation processes. This allows content authors to concentrate on satisfying the need for more and more content while the front-end teams deliver content seamlessly to more omnichannel endpoints.

Read how headless content management is a digital experience game changer.

Beware of Potential Headless CMS Pitfalls

“Headless” doesn’t mean without a head. You still need a presentation layer or system – some way of projecting your content with brand image/colours/stylings to channels. This new system is independent of the back-end creation process.

Here are some potential pitfalls to consider before adopting a headless CMS:

  • It will need a person or team of front-end developers to create and manage the design system, albeit with newfound freedom to be infinitely creative.
  • This team will be needed if a change is to be made or a new channel added. If they are external to your firm, this will cost money.
  • In the content creation process, many people like a preview of how content might look on different devices. WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors are common in the process. This functionality is lost since the head is separated.

Are you adding channels or changing designs and layouts so often that you can gain some business advantage? Do you really want to continually edit the company brand? If so, giving the front-end team endless creative freedom MIGHT make sense.

Ask your vendor how they charge for access. There are many varied charging mechanisms in the market, and there are often costs associated with the privilege of going headless. Make sure you understand your TCO when making the decision to go headless.

The headless path is not for the faint of heart or the novice in digital business. A company requires significant digital maturity and a robust change management process to succeed in this change. Do not underestimate this journey.

Conclusion

Headless is an excellent option if it means solving an actual business problem – not just if the front-end team wants more freedom or the IT teams want a new architectural model. Therefore, it is crucial to make this decision with all stakeholders at the table.

A modern CMS offers either a headless or de-coupled approach to content, rather than the traditional CMS model. Your company can grow into whichever approach suits its business needs at a particular point in time.
