IBM® Lotus® iNotes 8.5 software provides a security-rich messaging and collaboration platform for sharing data, connecting your employees and extended communities. It provides a Web browser alternative for accessing IBM Lotus Domino applications, including email calendar, and personal information management (PIM) capabilities, as well as instant messaging and presence awareness.
Benefits
Lotus iNotes software helps organizations to:
Integrate remote workers with critical data and applications, through a look and feel similar to the Lotus Notes® client with a layout customizable per user.
Enable access to Lotus Domino-based applications, email, calendaring and scheduling and instant messaging - anywhere they can find an Internet connection.
Send encrypted rich text email, schedule meetings, manage tasks and collaborate with colleagues-through their own workstations, Internet kiosks or PCs that belong to other users.
Protect business-critical information through a variety of authentication options as well as encryption and digital signatures.
Lower overall messaging solution costs through central administration, touting a low-touch to the desktop deployment model.
Enhance your corporate portal with collaborative tools including messaging access via Lotus iNotes software.
