IBM Lotus has unveiled the latest version of Lotus Notes
and Domino 7, along with WebSphere Portal and
Workplace.
Notes and Domino will be integrated more closely into IBM
Workplace, through IBM Workplace Collaboration Services - which IBM
described as "a single, integrated environment that includes a wide
range of collaborative capabilities or "services," such as email,
calendaring, instant messaging, electronic learning, Web
conferencing, document and Web content management."
IBM also introduced new Workplace development tools, and a
hosted package allowing organisations to use IBM collaborative
software on demand.
The new tools for Workplace will allow developers to link the
messaging and collaboration software into backend databases and
other enterprise information systems, said IBM.
IBM plans to make Notes and Domino 7 available this summer.
