This Camden, New Jersey based consumer food company wanted to provide worldwide access to email from anywhere without sacrificing security or functionality. They also wanted to move to the most recent release of Notes and Domino to provide their users with the latest the technology can offer.

Technotics first concern was to provide secure VPN access to their email system from the Internet to Domino Web Access. One of our principal consultants and Vice President, Rob Axelrod, investigated vendor capabilities and recommended a solution from Whale Communications.

Rob worked with Whale and the client to develop a customized system that satisfied vital security requirements while still providing ease of use and an an uncomplicated way of accessing the email system.

Rob implemented a security appliance called the Whale e-Gap Solution for IBM-Lotus Environments in strategic locations in the US, Australia, Belgium, and the UK. Rob traveled around the world, personally configuring and implementing the devices and educating local IT support teams in the care and feeding of the systems.

Rob also designed the Lotus Domino Web Access architecture and managed the project to roll out the server infrastructure.

Rob also managed the Notes client upgrade to Release 6 with assistance from the Automated Deployment Toolkit (ADT). This is an automated, managed process for deploying, upgrading or migrating an existing messaging system to Notes R5 and Notes 6 which was developed by Wolcott Systems Group.

The project delivered on time and on budget. Corporate users can now access their email securely from anywhere in the world.
