HCLSoftware looks back on decades of experience with development tools that enable short development cycles. With HCL Domino, applications were created in the past at a record pace – and also by specialist departments with technical know-how.
HCLSoftware – the software to your success
Six central reasons speak for this:
Prepared for current challenges
Full control – independent and flexible
Seamless integration for your applications
Stable and safe runtime environment
Scale future-proof with long-term planning
Fast implementation through user-friendly tools
Benefits for solution providers
- Proven rapid application development
- All in one: platform, security and scalability
- Cross-platform and future-proof
- Unique integration for document-oriented solutions
- Fast implementation by specialist departments
- Expansion of the business area with HCL BigFix
HCLSoftware combines database, application server and security in one integrated platform. This not only creates stability, but also maximum security – and all this from a single source.
Thanks to cross-platform development tools, applications can be implemented flexibly and quickly. At the same time, the platform is ideal for document-oriented applications – a decisive advantage, as today 99% of the data is unstructured.
While other document-oriented databases are just data storage, HCLSoftware offers a complete platform with HCL Domino – including application servers, development tools and security. This makes it the only ideal solution for modern, document-based applications.
HCL Domino also enables specialist departments with a technical skill to implement requirements directly – without complex IT processes. This accelerates development and reduces dependencies.
With HCLSoftware, you can not only optimize existing solutions, but also open up new business areas – for example, by integrating HCL BigFix for advanced IT management solutions.
Benefits for end customers
- Complete solution from a single source
- Security without compliance risks
- Increased efficiency in IT operations
With HCLSoftware, end customers receive all the necessary software components directly in their solution – without additional integrations or complex adaptations.
Thanks to the integrated platform and clear licensing structure, there are no compliance risks, which ensures legal security and reliable processes.
Due to the seamless integration and simple management, the personnel requirements in the IT environment are noticeably reduced – resources can be used in a targeted manner.

HCL Domino Platform:
The stable development platform for your mission-critical applications
HCL Domino has stood for the fast, safe and efficient development of business-critical applications for many years. The platform combines database, application servers and security mechanisms in an integrated solution, creating the basis for modern enterprise applications.
A major advantage of HCL Domino is the short development cycles. With technologies like HCL Domino Leap, applications can be created, adapted and used productively. Requirements from the specialist departments can be implemented efficiently – sometimes even directly by technically experienced departments themselves.
Today, HCL Domino is once again gaining in importance. While corporate data used to be stored predominantly in relation and in a structured manner, information is now mostly unstructured – for example as documents, e-mails, forms, files or processes. Document-oriented databases are therefore becoming increasingly important.
This is where the strengths of HCL Domino lie. The platform is specifically designed for document-oriented applications and combines data storage, business logic, security and development tools in one system. In contrast to many other document-oriented databases, HCL Domino thus offers a fully integrated development and runtime platform.
In addition, HCL Domino impresses with security, stability and future-proofing. Continuous development and regular updates from a globally established software manufacturer make HCL Domino more than ever the ideal platform for modern and flexibly integrated enterprise applications.
