Lotus Domino environments are very complex, likely consisting of hundreds of databases, thousands of users, and multiple servers across domains, often distributed over many locations and even disparate geographies.
Administering such an environment on a daily basis is not only time consuming, it costs your organization thousands if not millions of dollars. Because of the nature of these environments, administrators often spend way too much of their valuable time fixing the same problems over and over again. And protecting environments from security vulnerabilities just makes the situation worse. Even simple, routine administration tasks can take the focus away from the real challenges present in managing a Domino environment.
Administrators today want enhanced control over their environments, the ability to proactively prevent problems before they cause serious damage, and a systematic way to manage security access to key databases and information.
