The way information is exchanged is shifting rapidly, requiring companies to change how they manage their most important asset - knowledge. Increasingly, professionals are turning to online venues to communicate what they know and to create communities of collaboration. They are developing ad-hoc methods to collaborate and get work done. They are relying on e-mail, instant messaging, and online, team-based, electronic user environments.
The latest release of IBM Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino reflects these developments - not only to support the way people work today, but to establish a foundation for a future of increasing collaboration. Lotus Notes 8.5 is the premier integrated messaging and collaboration client option for the Lotus Domino server. Lotus Notes can help businesses enhance the productivity of their employees, streamline business processes, and improve overall organizational responsiveness.
IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 supports previous Lotus Notes applications, while offering new and improved capabilities and delivering Web 2.0-like innovations in collaboration. The software will provide entirely new capabilities, including composite applications and office productivity tools that can help improve the way people work. In addition, Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 software can play a key role as organizations adopt service-oriented architecture (SOA) strategies.
For the end user, "at the glass" interactions are critical aspects of their daily lives. An interface that can improve the user's experience is critical to software adoption. However, learning new technologies must be intuitive. With the IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 client, IBM has delivered on these expectations. From the initial look and feel of the Notes client, to the full integration with the IBM Lotus Sametime and IBM Lotus Quickr platforms, IBM has accelerated the business value of the end user experience with more than just e-mail!
Here are just a few of the enhancements that you'll see in the IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 release. These are designed to help your organization collaborate better and promote productivity and responsiveness.
IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 software continues IBM's commitment to helping you better manage information received via e-mail, while also allowing you to work from within your inboxes. New mail features include:
