Forrester Research: Lotus is Back "with a Vengeance"
Category Administration
"In case you haven't noticed, IBM Lotus not only didn't go away, it's here with a vengeance" is how Ted Schadler of Forrester Research summarizes many of the newest initiatives by Lotus. Ted explains that Sametime 8.5 is a major overhaul, "an important upgrade" for click-to-conference usability with a zero-download client.
Ted then runs through an IBM/Lotus inventory list, mentioning (1) LotusLive (now a Best of 2009), with its 18 million accounts; (2) Domino's DAOS (my earlier summary); (3) and Lotus Connections. Regarding LotusLive, it's not just another off-site mail alternative. IBM/Lotus has announced how they've been using LotusLive for a joint project with Navartis and Vodafone that combats Malaria in Africa.
Lotus Connections continues to draw tremendous interest, with Government Computer News writing of its "popular social networking features" being used by such staid and frugle organizations as the LA County government.
Lotus has a lot of momentum going forward for 2010.
