1. Another major customer has chosen Lotus Notes/Domino, Sametime and Quickr over Microsoft Collaboration tools because of "lower licensing and operating costs as well as greater platform independence." Here is a link to the press release.
2. I found and tested out a tutorial on how to create a Composite Application that integrates Notes Data and Symphony. It took me about 10-15 minutes to complete and shows how the two can be wired together to build quick and meaningful situational applications - without having to pay for Office licencses!
3.) We have rolled out an internal beta of Connections 2.5 at IBM and as many have heard, a popular feature is the inclusion of microblogging or status updates. At first I was wondering how it might be useful beyond knowing where people are or vaguely what they are up to, but it has opened up and incredible new world of networking and information sharing beyond my wildest dreams!
- I have made connections with people who are working on similar things as I and been able to collaborate with folks I didn't even know existed!!
- I have been clued onto some excellent articles and information without receiving an email!! Just by watching people's update status roll by in my peripheral view.
- I have been able to 'receive' information from key development contacts without bothering them.
- I have been able to request and gather feedback in issues from colleagues all over the world without limiting my scope of responses.
- I can link a wide audience of people to key information that I post or blog about
