Are you running critical business applications on the HCL Domino platform? Then you already know you’ve chosen one of the most robust, secure and adaptable application development environments available today. But here’s the question, are you truly maximising your return on that investment?
At Intec, we help businesses like yours unlock the full potential of their Domino-based infrastructure through our comprehensive Domino Hosting, support, and modernisation services.
With over 30 years of experience, we know that Domino environments are often left untouched simply because they “just work.” But that passive approach can lead to missed opportunities, hidden inefficiencies, and long-term vulnerabilities.
That’s why our Domino Hosting services go beyond the basics; offering strategic insight, performance enhancements, cost predictability, and the peace of mind that your applications are supported by true experts in the field.
Why Choose HCL Domino and Why Optimise It?
HCL Domino is one of the best application development platforms available: renowned for its reliability, scalability, and strong security capabilities. Many businesses rely on Domino for core workflows, document management, CRM, compliance systems, and more. Yet these same businesses often operate with ageing infrastructure, internal knowledge silos, and unclear licensing arrangements.
That’s where our Domino Hosting solutions come in. We don’t just keep your applications running; we help you modernise, streamline, and future-proof your environment. Our expert team invests time to understand:
- Where your applications are today
- What has shaped their current state
- Where your organisation needs to be in the short, medium and long term
From there, we deliver custom recommendations and scalable hosting options that align with your objectives.

Our Proven Four-Step Domino Hosting Methodology
At Intec, we follow a tried-and-tested four-step approach to ensure your Domino Hosting transition is smooth, secure, and strategically aligned to your business goals.
Step 1: Preparation: Laying the Groundwork for Success
The journey begins with discovery. We assess your current HCL Domino environment, including existing servers, licensing, application usage, and business drivers. From here, we work with you to determine the most suitable hosting provider; be that a public cloud, private cloud, or a hybrid solution.
You’ll be able to choose from:
- Dedicated, clustered servers with load balancers for high availability
- Shared multi-tenant hosting for cost-effective environments with managed service advantages
We manage various aspects of the environment, including:
- Maintenance and software updates
- Backups and disaster recovery planning
- Application deployment using proven methodologies
- Ongoing performance tuning
- Security patching aligned to your business timeline
All the while, we ensure complete data integrity and continuity through documented processes and custom SLAs.
Step 2: Migration: Seamless, Secure, and Stress-Free
Once the new infrastructure is ready, we’ll migrate your users and applications using iMigrate, our proprietary migration tool.
iMigrate ensures:
- User access and security settings remain intact
- Comprehensive analysis of applications prior to migration
- Rebuilt server domains using HCL Domino best practices
- Updated housekeeping configurations for optimal server performance
- Backups and recovery plans integrated from day one
By preserving your business continuity, we eliminate risk while giving you a modern, flexible Domino environment that’s ready for growth.
Step 3: Application Familiarisation: Knowledge is Power
Hosting is just the beginning. To provide superior support, we must know your applications inside out.
Our team will work with your business and technical stakeholders to complete a detailed Application Support Document for each application.
By fully documenting your environment, we reduce downtime, speed up issue resolution, and enable continuous improvement.
Step 4: Ongoing Support: Reliable, Transparent, Always Available
Your applications are critical, and so is having the right support in place. With our Domino Hosting support services, you’ll gain access to:
- A designated Help Desk system
- Authorised personnel protocols for raising support calls
- Priority-based triage and resolution SLAs
- Daily call monitoring and escalation
- Monthly reporting for complete visibility
- ISO9001-accredited processes ensuring consistent service quality
Whether it’s a performance issue, a user access query, or proactive optimisation, our team is available and ready to help.
