Lotus Notes is interesting technology, and a little hard to explain.

Lotus Notes is an application suite that includes the following components:

  • e-mail
  • calendaring and scheduling
  • address book
  • database
  • web server
  • programming.

Unlike other application suites (like Microsoft Office) that split these pieces of functionality into separate products (like Outlook, Access, Front Page, etc.), Lotus Notes presents all of these components using a single front-end.
