LEAD STORY

NEW FEATURES IN NOTES AND DOMINO 7.0 BETA 1 | Lotus developerWorks

This article describes new features introduced in the first beta
release for Notes and Domino 7.0. Read about all the ways we've
expanded and improved the Notes client, Domino Designer, and the
Domino server. By any definition, Lotus Notes and Domino represent
one of the greatest success stories in the history of business
software. Since the introduction of Notes 1.0 in late 1989, many
millions of users have come to rely upon Notes and Domino as essential
collaboration and information-sharing tools critical to the success of
their teams. And today Notes and Domino remain among the most
important and influential products in the industry -- many corporations
find that they cannot be as efficient and productive without them.

TRADEUP TO LOTUS SOFTWARE | Lotus
Thousands of organizations, and millions of users, have already
decided to trade up from offerings such as Microsoft Exchange by
switching to IBM Lotus Domino. Domino's collaborative infrastructure
is one reason. Others: reliability and security, lower total cost of
ownership, integrated business-grade instant messaging (IM), off-line
support for Web access, integrated unsolicited bulk e-mail (spam)
controls. Our many trade-up customers aren't the only confirmation
of the value of Domino.

FOR SYNCHRONY SYSTEMS, SERVER-MANAGED CLIENT MAKES IDEAL MIGRATION
TARGET | Lotus
An IBM Business Partner since the mid-1990s, New York based Synchrony
Systems carved itself a niche migrating large scale, legacy client-
server applications to IBM VisualAge Smalltalk (VAST) and recently to
J2EE platforms. More recently Synchrony customers have considered
migrating their rich-client VAST applications to the thin client,
lower-TCO, browser-based model. But many of these customers have
hesitated.

The West Wing: Reality TV for American Workers | TechsUnite

WashTech, plans to place this ad in major news publications, to get
the message to Congress. Your financial contributions will help

For Whom the Bell Tolls: Media Examines Human Cost of Offshoring |

exploring the cost of outsourcing - tallied not in terms of numbers,

to India after their jobs are outsourced. "American Jobs," an
outsourcing documentary currently in production by Los Angeles-area
filmmaker Greg Spotts, is currently in post-production.
