Since 1989, Lotus Domino has provided customers with much more than "just email." Many choose Lotus Domino over its competition for increased Return On Investment (ROI) by leveraging its extensive application development functionality. Whether you're using simple threaded discussion databases for employees and extended communities to share knowledge, or running core people-driven business applications such as CRM, help desk, or supply chain management, Lotus Domino can help your business thrive.

Avance Systems has access to a vast library of business application templates and fully developed, 'off the shelf' packages which can be quickly adapted for any business.

• Integrate your Domino applications with DB2, Oracle or SAP. Domino applications also integrate with Lotus Workplace and WebSphere Portal solutions, so your investment can be extended even further, giving more people on more devices access to your Domino solutions.

• WebSphere Portal simplifies and integrates access to your Lotus Workplace and Domino applications -- along with other information, business processes and applications.

• IBM Workplace Services Express (WSE), is an “out-of-the-box” collaboration solution with an integrated portal that provides team rooms, instant messaging (IM), document management and email on a single Server, so that SMB’s are able to share, organize and integrate information with employees, contractors and partners. For most companies WSE will be positioned as a solution for team collaboration on documents and projects in the Nigerian market (i.e. the front-end of Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) & an integrated portal solution). WSE will be the logical way to get a first taste of becoming an On-Demand business.
