Version 6.0 is released despite a crazy year of Covid-19. DOCOVA builds upon the exciting updates delivered in version 5.5 by adding additional new features as well as enhancing existing functionality. The focus for version 6 of DOCOVA has been to provide even more powerful application development and deployment capabilities for developers as well as an improved user experience for end users of those applications. A new DOCOVA App Store was released with several ready-to-use sample applications organizations can get started with right out-of-the-box. Additionally, DOCOVA released it’s SaaS cloud offering where potential customers can automatically spin up a trial instance of DOCOVA at no cost. It couldn’t be easier.

2018 – DOCOVA Adds Deeper Microsoft Integration and Mail Migration

In August 2018, DOCOVA V5.1 was released. DOCOVA can run in many environments including AWS, DOCOVA’s cloud (PaaS), private clouds and on-premises. With V5.1, deeper integration with the Microsoft stack was delivered, including O365, Azure Active Directory, SharePoint and the Azure platform. Additionally, through key business partnerships DOCOVA is also able to provide companies with mail migration services so that companies can migrate not only their complex Notes applications, but also their Notes Mail to Outlook/Exchange and O365.

2016 – Get us off Notes! DOCOVA Metamorphisizes into a full IDE

With our success of moving customers off of their DDM and Quickr environments, they were soon asking if we could also migrate their complex Notes applications to DOCOVA as well. Again, we responded. DOCOVA was an ECM at the time and not particularly well suited for the complexities of migrating a Notes application, so we transformed it into a low-code, IDE platform, with deeper migration tools to enable companies to migrate their Notes applications. The migration tools had to be the best and therefore include the user interface, business logic (LotusScript and @Formula/@Command languages), security, database schema and data. Now, not only can companies transform their Notes applications to modern browser based applications, they also have a sophisticated development solution on which to grow and build new innovative apps moving forward. Whether an organization is migrating off of Notes and Domino or not, DOCOVA is on the cutting edge of modern business application creation.

2008 – DOCOVA Migration Tools

Almost as soon as we got it out the door, DOCOVA customers were asking if we could migrate them off of their IBM Domino Document Manager (DDM) and IBM Quickr environments. Hence we developed the tools necessary to migrate these environments to DOCOVA on SQL platforms. We stand as the leader in DDM and Quickr migrations as we have migrated more of them than any other firm on the planet.

2007 – DOCOVA is Born

In the early 2000’s, “tools” sales were fine, but we wanted to create a larger business solution. We decided on Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and DOCOVA was born. Instantly international, we started selling DOCOVA to existing customers and into new accounts all across the globe.

2001 – DLI.tools Inc. is founded

In 2001, DLI.tools Inc., was founded as a division of DLI. The purpose of DLI.tools was to be a product company as opposed to DLI the consulting firm. DLI.tools’ first software products were the DLI.Uploader/Pro and thingFactory. These two “tools” allowed hundreds of our customers to rapidly build more powerful functionality into their browser based business applications with ease.

1998 – Decision Labs Inc. is founded

Decision Labs Inc., (DLI) was founded by John Ryan and Gary Walsh. DLI started as an IT consulting firm, providing administration, development and project management services to companies who were mainly in the Lotus Notes and Domino market.
