As special applications of software development, we offer system-level programming in the environment of operating systems (e.g. shell scripts), programs for application automation (e.g. in the office environment) or the development of interface programs for data exchange with legacy systems.
Beyond our services for HCL Domino and Notes, we also provide expertise and know-how on other specialized HCL applications. These specialized HCL apps are typically tailored to the operating system and offer numerous features and simplifications to improve operational processes and better organize workflows within your company.
Application automation and the development of interface programs are two application areas of such low-level programming in software development. They simplify the import and export of file content and fundamentally contribute to improving data exchange with established enterprise systems (legacy systems).
HCL's specialized apps also run on various administrative programming languages and, depending on the system, can be used on Linux, Mac, or Windows for administrative tasks and more. One example from our portfolio is PowerShell, which, as open source, offers a surprisingly wide range of possibilities and enhances scripting and command-line environments. When assessing your company, we carefully examine which implementations and strategies are relevant and important for you, and then also provide training for your employees on how to use the new tools.
The range of functions offered by HCL's specialized apps and other applications is impressive, and their continued development is guaranteed. Of particular importance to you is the outlook on the current state and future of these apps and tools. A collaboration between IBM and HCL Technologies, an Indian IT services company, began in 2018, with HCL taking over these products. As of July 2019, several IBM products are part of HCL and are continuously being developed and are now under their support.
The specialized apps discussed here are particularly interesting for system administrators, enabling the aforementioned automations and simplifying recurring processes and tasks. It's likely that other acquired HCL applications, such as Lotus Notes and Domino, can also be integrated with the capabilities of these specialized apps. Backup and recovery scripts are particularly relevant in this context, ensuring your data is secure and preparing you for exceptional circumstances. Furthermore, these apps help automate new configurations of client Notes or even its installation.

We look forward to introducing you to the use of the special HCL Apps and demonstrating the range from the standardized generation of important PDF files to the structuring, collection and final processing of log data.
