VARBusiness: Big Blue Strikes Back With Next Generation of Notes/Domino
With a few weeks to reflect on Lotusphere,
VARs and analysts are giving the Workplace / Notes strategy a thumbs-up…
“Extending
server-managed clients to Hannover next year simplifies deployment issues,
but in 2007 it also gives [IBM] a chance to extend Notes more deeply into
a Linux as well as a Mac environment,” says Dana Gardner, president
and principal analyst at Interarbor Solutions in Gilford, N.H.With Hannover, Workplace OS 2.6, Sametime
7.5 instant-messaging software and a new Notes 7.x suite designed to work
with SAP’s ERP software, IBM is betting it can sway enterprise users it
believes are ready to move past traditional, more expensive client-server
solutions, such as Vista and Office 12.
