We know it's true that Microsoft leads the way on office productivity with MS Office and Outlook/Exchange. But we also know that Lotus Notes still has a solid market share for e-mail as well. And it wouldn't be a stretch to believe that even organizations with Lotus Notes also have at least one SharePoint implementation.

All good news for Mainsoft as they release the latest version of their SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes.

Mainsoft continues to bridge the divide between Java and .Net. Today they announced the Beta release of Mainsoft Document Collaboration for Rational Jazz, SharePoint Edition.

Mainsoft likes to integrate SharePoint and IBM Products. They’ve done it with IBM’s WebSphere Portal and with Lotus Notes. Today they are announcing that the Lotus Integration is going a few steps further covering more versions of the popular email client and Lotus Sametime.

Ziff Davis is holding a free eSeminar on July 15, 2008 to show you how you can integrate your SharePoint platform with Lotus Notes. It’s called: IBM Lotus Notes - Microsoft SharePoint Co-Existence Strategy.

Seems like it was only yesterday we were talking about IBM introducing a Quickr Content Integrator that will help move organizations away from SharePoint. Oh, right it was yesterday…

Today, we see that IBM may actually be wise enough to tackle the SharePoint challenge from both ends. Another IBM partner is helping to bridge the integration gap with SharePoint. The partner — Mainsoft. The solution — SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes. If you are one those organizations that has a mixed technology environment — and you are not alone — this solution will go a long way to help.

We all know that SharePoint (MOSS) is being heavily used for basic document management and collaboration services. We also know that the software is often deployed in an environment where it must be integrated with other technologies like content management systems and portals — why else would so many Enterprise CMS vendors cooking-up nifty connectors and building repository bridges?

The message is clear: Knowledge workers the world over are putting a lot of digital stuff into MOSS and if your tech can’t talk MOSS, you’re liable to be left out in the cold.
