Topics
LotusLive Notes
* Announced on Tuesday, available from August 24th
* What’s the announcement all about?
* Why did IBM feel that putting Domino/Notes into the cloud was important?
* Notes is now part of the overall LotusLive suite. Is that just branding, or is there real integration there?
* Ed said in his post “Today’s announcement marks the clear establishment of LotusLive as the leader in cloud collaboration.”That’s a pretty bold statement to make, suggesting you feel very sure that the announcement takes Lotus beyond the capabilities that Microsoft and Google offer – is that the case?
* There has been a lot of talk of ‘hybrid’SaaS and on-premise platforms for collaboration (‘click to cloud’etc.). Obviously a lot of target customers for LotusLive Notes will already have Domino infrastructure, how will go about shifting from on-premise to cloud, or even maintain a hybrid solution?
* What about apps?
* Is customisation allowed?
* What will Lotus be doing to make both owning and managing hybrid infrastructures easier?
* Instant Messaging – dedicated or shared?
* What are the costs? How does a customer buy it?
* Opening out:
* Apart from Ed, we are Lotus business partners that have customers with on-premise environments, or work in customer on-premise environments
* What does this offering add to the options that customers already have?
