Lotus Notes

Lotus Notes was a server-based email system used by faculty and staff at Stony Brook University for many years. It was replaced by Google Apps for Education in 2012, but some departments still access important Lotus Notes/Domino applications. The plan is to completely decommission the service by December 2013.
