I worked in a place where basically everything that happened in the company was implemented as actions within Lotus Notes.
While the choice of implementation and performance were abysmal (Notes was a great/the only choice when the decision was made but 25 years later not so much), the actual idea was amazing and it worked extremely well.

What do you think are the reasons it worked so well? Any anecdotes of why it was so effective?
