LotusNotes

[jclaes]

I have seen that sugarcrm has the capability of importing contacts data from outlook. Anybody know if there exist some plug-in to allow import/export from/to lotusnotes?
Thanks for any advice

You can use ExportWiz. A Lotus Notes utility that export the contacts into a csv file to import into Sugar. There is a free trial version that you can use. Here is the site: http://www.lotus-notes-export.com/ExportWiz.asp

Thanks Ibruno. Will try that.

I'd also be interested in any ways in which Lotus Notes can be tied in with Sugar. Just curious if there is anything out there.

I too am very much interested in this. If someone has done anything, please let me know.

Anything new?

Yes - WebSphere

I think every Notes installation has a target painted on it, both by IBM with WebSphere and by all their competitors! Face it - it's time is done.

Funny you should say that, I worked for a Lotus Notes CRM vendor for a few years. Their business has actually grown considerably in the time since I left them.

In terms of integration, my Notes skills are pretty rusty but I believe that you might be able to do some XML import/export work. What kind of integration were you looking for?

Just trying to provoke some reaction really - Lotus continues to amaze me by surviving, and in some niches, even thriving. It may be old and creaky, but a lot of invaluable Lotus apps are still running a lot of businesses.

Oh, that's what I figured, no worries. You work with Lotus Notes long enough and you hear all the jokes - "I thought that was a spreadsheet program!" etc.

Working at that company is actually what got me into Sugar in the first place. I couldn't operate without a CRM when I started my business! Sugar is quite similar in a lot of ways to the CRM app that I used to work with.
