WELCOME and INTRODUCTION

Avance Systems was conceptualized as a result of the need to educate the Nigerian market on the emerging Groupware technologies in the early 90’s. Avance Systems focused on Lotus Notes/ Domino, the worlds leading messaging /Collaborative/Intranet product ; but which is now HCL Domino & Notes R13, and HCL Connections Cloud S1 & S2.

HCL Software acquired most of the collaboration-related assets of IBM Software group in a deal that closed in July 2019. This included Connections, its communities offering that focuses on intranets and digital work. Connections has a large install base globally, and as part of HCL, Connections has continued to evolve to help support remote work and employee engagement.

HCL Connections can also integrate with third party applications, such as Slack and the Microsoft ecosystem, including Teams, SharePoint, Outlook and Office, as well as HCL applications such as Domino, Sametime and Domino Volt to enable even higher levels of data and application integration and low-code development. HCL has not missed a beat, and Connections, along with the rest of its portfolio, is well positioned to meet the demands of the remote work era.
