What is a Virtual User Group meeting?  Think about all the things that a live user group meeting contains - a presentation, some time for networking and questions, and perhaps a snack. Well, we can't vouch for the snack, but we are providing the presentation and the networking. LotusUserGroup.org's Virtual User Group meetings include a Webcast presentation and a moderated topic forum/chat.

With Google’s universal search for business, you can find all information within your company – including all Lotus Notes / Domino content – through a single search box.

Integrating SharePoint with Lotus Notes:
Strategic Coexistence
Presented by Yaacov Cohen, President and CEO, Mainsoft and Oved Yavine, Director of Client Services, Mainsoft
Online Discussion Forum, October 6 - 10, 2008

Sponsored by hosted by LotusUserGroup.org

Many enterprises with IBM Lotus Notes® use Microsoft® SharePoint® for document management and team collaboration. However, accessing SharePoint document libraries from Lotus Notes is a cumbersome process that makes it challenging for Notes users to accomplish the basic, day-to-day tasks.

Attend this Web seminar and learn about Mainsoft’s coexistence strategy for integrating Lotus Notes and SharePoint into a unified messaging and collaboration platform. Coexistence based on Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes is a practical alternative to the steep costs and risks inherent in a migration strategy, and the inefficiencies and frustrations of doing nothing.

Available October 2008, SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes version 1.5 lets Notes users:
  • Access SharePoint document libraries from a Notes sidebar.
  • Incorporate Notes emails into an enterprise content management solution based on SharePoint.
  • Initiate a Lotus Sametime chat session from a SharePoint document, and drag-and-drop documents from SharePoint to the Sametime instant messaging client.
  • Build composite applications that integrate data and business logic from disparate systems—SharePoint, Notes and Domino, Java and .NET applications.


  • And more...

    Mainsoft will preview SharePoint Integrator version 1.5 and demo custom integration solutions.

    Presenters:

    Yaacov Cohen, President and CEO, Mainsoft
