One App for Everything! Domino Workspace – HCL's New Platform

At the Let's Connect 2025 conference in Copenhagen and Stockholm, HCL Software unveiled Domino Workspace — a brand-new, independent platform for work, communication, and collaboration. This is not just another update to an existing product. It's an entirely new vision of what everyday work in an organization should look like.

The goal is both simple and ambitious: to make collaboration enjoyable again. One environment. One view. Everything you need — email, calendar, contacts, files, chat, workflow, and business applications.

Why Now?

Organizations worldwide face the same problem: tool fragmentation. Email in one place, chat in another, files in a third, calendar in a fourth. Switching between applications kills productivity and creates information silos.

At the same time, regulatory pressure is increasing — NIS2, DORA, GDPR — demanding data sovereignty and infrastructure control. Public and regulated organizations need a platform that is both modern and sovereign.

What Does Domino Workspace Include?

Domino Workspace is built on the foundation of the HCL Domino platform but represents a separate, dedicated investment. It's not an extension of Notes Client or a rebranding of an existing product — it's an entirely new application designed from the ground up for modern needs.

License Tiers — Essentials & Professional

Domino Workspace will be available in two main tiers, designed so organizations can choose the scope of functionality that fits their needs:

Domino IQ — Intelligent Assistant at the Platform's Core

Domino IQ is a built-in artificial intelligence module that will serve as a central assistant across the entire Domino Workspace environment. It is not an external plugin or optional add-on — it's an integral part of the platform.

Data Sovereignty — The Key Advantage

In the era of NIS2, DORA, and growing regulatory requirements, data sovereignty is becoming not an option but a necessity. Domino Workspace addresses this challenge by offering full control over data and infrastructure.

Technology Partner Ecosystem

Domino Workspace integrates solutions from leading partners, extending the platform's functionality with specialized tools:

Implementation Roadmap

Domino Workspace will be deployed in phases, with the first release in Spring 2026 featuring email, calendar, chat, meetings, file sharing, and integrated office suite (Collabora Online).

Conclusions — A New Era of Collaboration on the Domino Platform

Domino Workspace is HCL's answer to a fundamental challenge facing modern organizations: how to provide a modern, integrated collaboration platform that simultaneously guarantees full data sovereignty?
