Lotus Notes is an ideal platform for creating a Leave Management System. It is so because a LMS is essentially a workflow application. For instance when an employee creates a new leave application, it is forwarded to the concerned sanctioning authority based on the employee’s profile. The sanctioning authority processes the application and a reply has to be sent to the employee and the application has to be documented for future use. This kind of a transaction where a series of process are involved is ideal for the use of Lotus Notes. Documentation and recovery of such records is easily possible using Lotus Notes.
