Zwei Tage vor Weihnachten kommt endlich die auf der diesjährigen Lotusphere
angekündigte Version 8.5 von IBM Lotus Sametime.
Benutzer werden sich über die noch einfachere
Bedienung und noch bessere Integration freuen.
Administratoren dürften wohl die "download-freien"
Online-Meeting begrüßen.
Und als Entwickler freue ich mich schon
auf die neuen APIs, um Sametime-Funktionen viel einfacher in eigene Web-Anwendungen
einzubinden.
Hier die Ankündigung von IBM:

IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5 represents the next generation of unified communications and collaboration software. It incorporates:
- A new online meeting experience that is integrated into the IBM Lotus Sametime Connect client. Join a meeting with a single click. Easily invite others by dragging their names from the contact list. Accept meeting invitations with a single click. Upload meeting materials via simple drag and drop.
- New zero-download, browser-based chat and meeting clients that extend the desktop experience to wherever the user is working.
- A new standards-based audio and video infrastructure that enables interoperability with third party audio and video conferencing systems.
- New audio and video codecs that provide higher quality native voice and video services for a more compelling collaborative experience out-of-the-box.
- New Web 2.0 APIs that let developers embed Sametime capabilities into Web sites and applications so users switch context less.
- A new, browser-based Apple iPhone chat client, support for the Blackberry Storm, and an improved mobile client for Microsoft® Windows® Mobile devices.
- New social views that make it easier to find the people you collaborate with the most.
- A new System Console that centralizes infrastructure configuration, deployment, management, and policy management for all Sametime services.
- New upgrade options if you have basic Sametime services from other IBM offerings.
