"We are using Lotus Notes in several versions and OpenOffice.org. We have decided to use the Swing Integrator from Swing Software and I can only recommend this solution."

- Leif Lodahl, Symfoni Software (in Lodahl's blog)


"Vigilus worked side-by-side with Pentair Water to develop a customized component powered by SWING integrator within ACT! for Notes. The solution not only helped our Sales staff with the collection of unique customer data but seamlessly utilized many of the standard features and benefits of the software. The result was greater visibility into sales opportunities, reduced reporting time and ongoing analysis of our growth targets."

- Patrick Dupies, Regional Sales Manager, Pentair Water


"SWING DocPublisher is simply awesome! It has allowed us to make tremendous strides in bringing our document and communication driven organization into this century. With DocPublisher, all the information is just a few clicks away. It is priceless."

- Bill Mongeau, Brunswick Bowling & Billiards


"The time to generate one type of proposal has gone from 30 minutes down to less than 5 minutes. I wish I would have adopted the product [SWING Integrator] sooner."

- Steve Barefoot, CIO, Environmental Risk Management, Inc.


"We needed a method to create and distribute via the web our IT policies and procedures to our campus community... That's when I saw SWING DocPublisher. It was just what we needed."

- Jeff Barnes, Queens College, City University of New York


"We have implemented SWING Integrator code in our invoicing applications and it is working great. I appreciate how flexible the code is and easy to update."

- Erick Kapamas, Vanderbilt University Medical Center


"The installation and setup [of DocPublisher] was great - had it running in just a few minutes. There haven't been any questions or problems - which is also great! We are in the process of moving our procedures and policies to the product and expect to have them available at the end of the month."

- Brian Randle, Founders Group, Inc.


"Focusing more and more on Domino-based web development, we also needed a tool which would allow our users to print to highly formatted forms nicely via a browser. The SWING Integrator for Web does an excellent job in this respect... [The product's openness] allows us to tweak and tune the behavior of the toolkit, especially with the choice of available templates."

- Klaas van der Galiën, IDEAX B.V.


"We have developed some [DocPublisher] folders for one of our departments with offices in various places has loved being able to go to one place to see the progress and final results of a project.  DocPublisher is earning high praise around our company. Thanks for all your support in helping to get it up, secure, and running!"

- Nancy Cox, George K. Baum & Company


"The concept of an online policy and procedure manual has intrigued me for some time, and I actually tried a competitor's Windows based product, but it was cumbersome and difficult to manage. I have been in the process of converting our policies to online and have been impressed with the ease of use and speed with which I am able to upload and modify these documents. The automatic archival process is also of significant value to our health center. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, it is important that we maximize efficiency and minimize cost, and your product has helped us to attain both of these goals. Thank you again for helping us to bring our policies online in an efficient manner."

- Thomas D. Rose, D.M.D., Family Christian Health Center


"The installation of DocPublisher took only a few minutes. It does what was promised. In general: Great tool!"

- Roland Chapman, IBM World Trade Corporation


"After a couple of days using the InOffice, it became an irreplaceable add-on for my Notes client. InOffice's ease of use makes it a tool that any user can learn to become productive with virtually no training."

- Doc Howell, IT Director, North Carolina State Ports Authority


"SWING is working great, and has received rave reviews. Thank you for your help in making this project a success."

- John Schroth, Technology Director, Strongsville City Schools


"We chunked CR for SWING Integrator which is a lot cheaper, far better, and allows you to use MS-Word and Excel to generate reports instead.

Best part is the user does not need to install a CR client and they don't have to set up ODBC to use it. Swing Integrator is added to a Notes database and is available to all users if you so choose to allow it. Then, it is so easy to use that even the users can create their own reports in Word or Excel and map the data to a Notes document using the SWING Integrator template form. Users can also create reports from views by using the mail merge functionality of MS-Word, and SWING Integrator even allows two-way updates through field exchange - from Notes to Word, and from Word to Notes.

It only takes about an hour or so for a developer to add the SI elements to a Notes database. It doesn't get much easier than that. "

- Mike Grantham, Sr. Lotus Notes Developer, L3 Integrated Systems


"Two things make a good software: its simplicity to use and - at least as important! - a helpful support. SWING Software and their product InOffice assure both aspects in a way that is without equal. Users with Helvetas understood how to use the product within minutes. And I have hardly ever run into such an attentive and swift team as SWING Software is."

- Marc Steinlin, Helvetas - Swiss Association for International Cooperation


"I have used Lotus Notes for 3 years and  always looked for the perfect product to convert my schedule and address book into a usable format.  I tried at least 6 other products before finding SWING InOffice.  From the moment I installed the software I was thrilled with the results.  In 3 clicks I was able to export all the fields of my address book into Excel and also export them directly into a label format.  After conducting such a long search, I consider this a miracle product!"

- Diane Hanson, Major Account Project Manager


"I have been working with SWING InOffice pretty steadily for the past few weeks and am quite impressed with its functionality. It is a marked improvement over the export option available through Notes."

- Joe Limanowski, American Modern Insurance Group


"The SWING Integrator software is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Since we purchased the software we have used it in several other databases with the same great results. We have used it to allow Notes to easily print labels, produce Excel charts and print Purchase Orders. SWING Integrator has saved us time and given us the professional results we wanted. I can not say enough good things about the product. Also, the SWING technical support team is excellent, answering all my questions in a very timely manner."

- Andy Pisano, Supelco / Sigma-Aldrich


"After making an in-depth analysis of the products on the market claiming to meet my needs and by conducting some evaluation with the products, I was extremely happy with SWING’s functionality and realized that SWING was the way to go and perfect for this application."

- Fredric Berling, Beijer Electronics


"I've been in Notes development for almost 6 years now and I've seen many companies where Office and Notes integration was a big problem. I can say that I found a neat way of dealing with these issues and I can't see any customer say no to a product like SWING Integrator. I was really impressed with the ease of use of SWING Integrator and that's a big plus because the other Notes developer we have is a junior-intermediate programmer and he'll be able to easily integrate SWING into Notes applications."

- Benoit Dubuc


"We are implementing front office task tracking and document workflow for the Chief of Naval Operation, US Navy and have finally found a tool that integrates MS Office and the Web as they should be. Swing Integrator has shaved months off development and will answer a basic need in the Domino development world we and our clients have asked for for well over a year. The basic ability to edit documents in place on web forms is a necessity in today's world, and Swing has answered this call with a tool that will save us enormous time and money. I cannot wait to integrate all features of the product in the near future."

- Doug Garnett-Deakin, CTO X.Systems, Inc. Federal


"We have been a Lotus Notes application development company for 8 years and we had the need to fully integrate Microsoft Word and Excel into client management applications for several clients. After much research we decided to use SWING Software's Integrator as our solution and are very pleased. It provides all the functionality we desired for field exchange and mail merges but of equal importance to us is the outstanding technical support we receive.

As with any complicated integration process getting various versions of several different software applications to work together can be problematic. In every case, when I contact SWING they respond very quickly and with numerous knowledgeable suggestions as to how to resolve the integration issues I was facing. This allows me to provided highly functional business applications to my clients in a timely manner and solve any support issues they uncover quickly. I wish other application providers had the same level of expertise and commitment to technical support that SWING does. It is a pleasure working with everyone at SWING  and I have and continue to recommend SWING Software to all my Notes development associates."

- Russel Boone, Financial Systems Consulting


"SWING provides great functionality for integrating Notes and Office that's easy to use. Technical support is outstanding. And not the least - SWING offers excellent value for money!"

- Martin Davies, Verix Business Services Ltd


"SWING Integrator is an excellent tool to provide users with the ability to work with Domino data in an application like Excel or Word without long development cycles, complicated coding or the need to install DLL's or other executables on the users PC. 

Lotus Notes Power Users can easily add new templates to add totally new functionality to a Notes application. For the programmer, just call the functions from the code libraries to add really cool features to the Domino application that MS Office users will really love to use. I found Swings technical support to be very responsive. Also an important note is that the source code is available for purchase, which ensures the long-term ability to support your applications."

- Lloyd Merithew, Siemens Medical Solutions USA 


"The SWING Integrator was definitely the only solution that could easily be integrated with IT Factory and help us out of our problems."

- Jan-Eirik Nilsskog, AS Anlegg


"We have been waiting for the latest release of SWING Integrator for a few months now. It has definitely been worth the wait. It has all the new features we were hoping for (managing Office documents on the Web) as well as exceeding our expectations. The ability to export a view to an Excel chart is something that I can see will be very useful in the future. It will take some time to make use of all the features of the software because some of them were just not thought of as being possible in Notes. We will be able to majorly enhance many of our corporate databases with these new functions.

I would also like to point out that when we heard that SWING Integrator was going to be Web enabled, we had no idea how close to the Lotus Notes client version it would be. It is very reassuring to see both the Notes client and Web interface working identically. This means less training (and confusion) for our staff."

- Zak Karachiwala, John Holland Pty Ltd


"For quite a long time, we have been looking for a solution that integrates MS Word into our Lotus Notes applications in a simple, but effective manner. After evaluating several alternatives, we came to the conclusion that SWING Integrator is the only one we have found which satisfies both those requirements.

We have integrated your product into our office management solution to begin with and we are looking to extend the same functionality to our other product offerings such as Sales & Marketing solutions.

The primary benefit for us has been tremendous savings in development time, thereby allowing us to focus on the core (business) functionality of our product. Also, we very much like your licensing policy which is simple to understand and represents excellent value for money.

I must compliment you on the competence and friendliness of your staff. The few (minor) initial problems we had were dealt with promptly and efficiently each time."

- Kenneth Fonderson, CEO, XPert-Ease B.V.


"With the SWING Software solution, we have the right mix of every need for near any kind of use of the documents, with a standardized template database managed from a central location and getting customer data from a general database. In a few words, now we have documents, before only files."

- Dario Gnaccarini, VP Marketing, C.D.H. srl


"I found SWING Integrator for Notes&Office to be non intrusive, easy to implement and working well. The fact that it does not use any DLLs and does not need end-user license is a major advantage. As a bonus, I have received excellent and prompt support from the guys at SWING Software. They went out of their way to help me get my application going even though the problem was not directly related to their software."

- Michel Roux, Multiprogramming Pty Ltd.


"SWING Integrator is an invaluable tool that has helped our organization deliver full functioning Contact Management and Electronic Invoicing applications for our customer base. We are currently evaluating its use in an eLearning solution where we plan to use Word documents to capture the course content...
These guys know how to build powerful software that is rock solid and easy to implement. It has saved us countless development hours, and allowed us to pass that value onto our customers."

- Burke Allen, NovoLogic, Inc.


"It's rare to find a product that will integrate into existing code as easily as the SWING Software product. Our developers and end users have had nothing but success working with the Swing product. We are especially impressed with the support. Numerous solutions have been provided to help extend the functionality of our existing product line thanks to the Swing support team. We feel that we have saved a great deal of valuable programming time by implementing this solution. Thanks again for a great product!"

- Stuart Avera, Director of Development, Knowledge Concepts, Inc.


"I was struggling to find a way to integrate the Microsoft Office files with Lotus Notes, until I found this software: Swing Integrator! The software works great! It helped me bring the Lotus Notes/Domino application to the next level. Most important of all, the Tech Support that I got from Swing Software was GREAT! Their support was FAST, ACCURATE, and very HELPFUL. I'm glad that I chose Swing Integrator and I don't regret recommending this software to my clients and business partners."

- Yoshi Kurokawa, I.T.A., Inc.


"Overall I have found your product to provide an excellent integration tool for a very low price."

- Jeff Hopper, TXU Communications


"I have been using the SWING Integrator for about a month now to create a CRM solution for our company. The software has helped me include Sales Forecasting and Mail Shots which has become an invaluable tool saving us an otherwise vast amount of development time. As I am not a full time Notes Developer I needed a tool that was reasonably easy to use and it certainly was that."

- Richard Scaplehorn, Global IT Manager, XN Corporation Ltd.
