Lotus and Domino Next: A Glimpse Into IBM's Collaboration Future
Excerpted from the Gartner Report
IBM's primary goal with the next major release of Notes and Domino is to
make it more consistend and interoperable across a range of IBM and
other collaboration products.
Key Findings
The planned evolution of Notes and Domino highlights numerous trends in
the collaboration market such as:
- The broader movement toward activity streams as a way of aggregating and
propagating information.
- The decomposition of monolithic collaboration products to enable use of
some services (like calendar) inside other applications.
- The ability for collaboration products to include external collaboration
services via standards such as Representational State Transfer (REST)
and OpenSocial.
- The elevation of browser and mobile access to parity with traditional
desktop clients.
Consistend features across "cloud" and on premises provisioning models
