HCLSoftware has rolled out version 14.5 of its HCL Domino platform, with a focus on meeting the needs of governments and other organizations that handle sensitive data. This update introduces several changes aimed at improving data privacy, security, and compliance, particularly in regions with strict regulations.
A key part of this release is Domino IQ, a new AI extension designed to give users more control over how artificial intelligence is applied within their systems. Instead of relying on external or cloud-based AI services, organizations can use their own models or ones developed by trusted partners. This approach not only helps in meeting local compliance requirements, such as those outlined in the European AI Act, but also reduces dependence on non-domestic infrastructure.
In addition to AI tools, the new version includes updates to improve security and accessibility. The platform now supports tools for managing security events and incidents, and has received certification aligned with BSI standards. It also meets the guidelines laid out in the European Accessibility Act, ensuring that its web-based services are more usable for a wider range of business users. The update also brings improved deployment options for secure messaging and virtual meetings.
Overall, HCL Domino 14.5 appears to be tailored for organizations operating under strict regulatory conditions, offering a platform that’s designed to keep data handling and collaboration both compliant and contained within trusted environments.
