Posted on by CyberDude

Our next virtual User Group Meeting will feature a presentation from on Integrating SharePoint with Lotus Notes presented by Mainsoft and is followed by an online discussion forum that week, moderated by the presenter. the meeting happens on October 7, 2008 at 9:30 am Eastern (GMT -5), ad is free to LotusUSerGroup.org members, but requires pre-registration.
Register today at http://www.LotusUserGroup.org/VUG

The meeting will begin with an online presentation:

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 presentation 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.

Mainsoft will preview SharePoint Integrator version 1.5, available October 2008, and demo custom integration solutions that let 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…

The presentation will include a live Q&A session and will be followed by a one week topic forum moderated by Ovid, where you can ask additional questions, provide feedback on the presentation, get tips on integrating SharePoint with Lotus Notes, or share your own knowledge and experience.
