The new product lineup includes: Messaging 1.1, a simplified e-mail application designed for underserved enterprise users (mobile or non-technical employees) via skeleton email and personal calendar features that can be used with Domino, Web portals, browsers or third-party email clients; Team Collaboration 1.1, which integrates instant messaging (IM), Web conferencing and Web content publishing; Content Management 1.1, a Web content publishing and management tool based on technology acquired from Aptrix this summer; and finally Collaborative Learning 1.1, which is an updated version of the Lotus Learning Management System, an online training tool.
IBM/Lotus customers have long been demanding tighter integration between Workplace applications; Lotus has a history of developing isolated programs that often required custom integration to work together.
The new Workplace products will effectively replace different software programs with an integrated and streamlined suite offering that shares functionality.
IBM confirmed it is firmly committed to future development of both Lotus and Domino platforms, adding that IBM itself uses over 10,000 Domino applications internally.
