IBM Lotus Domino and Workplace Collaboration Services: Comparison of Collaborative Application Platform (JMP 205)
Tags: Lotusphere2006
Karen Hobert and Bob Balaban gave a nice comparison between the two collaboration platforms of IBM pointing out the strengths and the weaknesses of both architectures. As a conclusion of these existing strengths the IBM collaboration roadmap will bring the two architectures closer together. This will happen on the client side first, followed by the serverside (post Hannover) and the development tools side (post Hannover).
"Hannover will be the next Notesclient, just better", Bob said, "and it will support the workspace."
Enhancements will be:
- Client UI will be customizable (..first time)
- Client will be platform independent (running on Linux and Mac)
- Client will be the rich client for Domino and Portalserver...
- Provisioning will be possible
I guess the official timeframe for "Hannover" will be announced during opening session tomorrow, by the way there were rumors about in the beginning of 2007...
