Bruce spoke with Mainsoft President Yaacov
Cohen about their SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes V2.5 announcment.
During Lotusphere 2010 Mainsoft will
preview SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes V2.5. Built using the Eclipse
Rich Clicent Platform, the Lotus Notes sidebar application makes SharePoint
easy to access and easy to use from Lotus Notes. The preview introduces
support for Sharepoint 2010 including integration with SharePoint-based
professional networks.
Yacoov talks about how first time, IT
users in mixed IT environments will be able to access a slew of information
(contact details, photographs, areas of expertise, experiences, connections,
and more) on the contacts they know, and the they'll be able to search
for new contacts based on their areas of expertise and experience. All
of this, plus SharePoint-based document collaboration and calendards, right
at their fingertips, within Lotus Notes.

technologies in my old Lotus Notes applications?

Explorer? And the DB2 back-end data store? And the rest of the IBM software
line? How will the new Notes 8 client be able to take advantage of these
technologies?
- Will we be able to run the Hannover
client "on
a stick"?
- Who's the comedian for Lotusphere going
to be?
There was also a lot of
