===Branding===
Prior to release 4.5, the ''Lotus Notes'' branding encompassed both the client and server applications.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-NDHistory/ |title=The History of Notes and Domino |publisher=IBM 
|access-date=October 24, 2011}}</ref> In 1996, Lotus released an [[HTTP]] server add-on for the Notes 4 server called "Domino". This add-on allowed Notes documents to be rendered as web pages in real time. Later that year, the Domino web server was integrated into release 4.5 of the core Notes server and the entire server program was re-branded, taking on the name "[[IBM Lotus Domino|Domino]]". Only the client program officially retained the "Lotus Notes" name.

In November 2012, IBM announced it would be dropping the Lotus brand and moving forward with the IBM brand only to identify products, including Notes and Domino.<ref>[http://www.eweek.com/enterprise-apps/ibm-drops-lotus-brand-takes-notes-and-domino-forward/ "IBM Drops Lotus Brand, Takes Notes and Domino Forward"] Article published in November, 2012</ref> On October 9, 2018, IBM announced the availability of the latest version of the client and server software.

In 2019, Domino and Notes became enterprise software products managed under HCLSoftware.
