HCL Domino specialists
Practical HCL Domino modernisation, development, integration, security and support services for organisations that still depend on Domino.
Overview
Domino People was started in Dublin, Ireland in 2001 with the primary aim of providing best in class professional services for HCL/IBM/Lotus Notes Domino technologies and their companion products.
Our company ethos is based on quality service delivery, technical excellence and value to our clients. Our growing customer base is a testimony to our core values and customer focused approach.
What you can ask us to do
Some clients arrive with one urgent technical problem. Others need a trusted specialist to help them decide what to improve first. We can work from a focused troubleshooting brief, an application backlog, an upgrade plan or a wider review of the Domino platform. The common thread is that the work is based on your real applications, users and operational constraints—not a generic migration playbook.
That can mean reviewing a troublesome Notes application, preparing an HCL Domino upgrade, improving access through Nomad, exposing selected data through REST APIs, tightening authentication and certificates, or helping an internal team document and support a system that has become business-critical. Where a change is not the right answer, we will say so and help you prioritise the safer next step.
What good support looks like
Our role is not simply to make a technical change and disappear. We aim to leave you with a clearer picture of the estate, a tested improvement, and enough context for your own team to operate what comes next.
You get an explanation of the options, dependencies and risks in plain language, so stakeholders can make a decision without guessing what the technical detail means.
When delivery is needed, we work through scoped changes, testing, rollout and rollback considerations rather than treating a production Domino estate like a laboratory.
We can document decisions, explain changes to your administrators and developers, and help build a supportable route for the next phase of work.

Service FAQ
Every Domino estate is different, but the questions below are a useful starting point for deciding whether a conversation would help.
No. Many useful engagements begin with a problem, a deadline, an application that is difficult to support, or a decision that needs better technical input. We can help clarify the scope, identify the right first question and turn that into a practical piece of work.
Yes. We can review applications and operational processes, document dependencies, support a transition, and help create a plan that reduces reliance on undocumented knowledge. The goal is to make the estate easier to understand and support without destabilising the systems that the business relies on.
No. We can help with a focused issue, a single application, a security or certificate task, an integration, a readiness review or retained specialist support. A smaller, well-defined first phase is often the right way to create confidence before considering broader change.
We start by understanding the systems, users and dependencies affected. Changes are scoped, tested and explained, with practical consideration for timing, communications, rollback and operational ownership. The right level of formality depends on the risk, but production work should never be treated casually.
Yes. Domino People can provide specialist Domino experience alongside an internal IT team, a managed service provider, application owners or another delivery partner. We focus on clear responsibilities, useful documentation and decisions that help everyone support the outcome.
It helps to describe the business problem, the applications or servers involved, the deadline or risk you are concerned about, what has already been tried and what must not be disrupted. You do not need to have every answer; that context is enough to begin a sensible discussion.
