Benefits for end users

Lotus Sametime helps you collaborate and share ideas

People in any organization want to collaborate and share ideas that help stimulate growth, the opportunity to take action and make informed decisions, and the power to do their jobs better, every day.

IBM Lotus Sametime software is designed to do just that — with enterprise IM, presence, Web and video conferencing and built-in Voice over IP capabilities that make it a market leader and award winner. The software provides a simple, unified user experience that seamlessly integrates with multivendor environments. It is the core software platform of the IBM Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC² ™) strategy.

Lotus Sametime software can help you:

  • Communicate more quickly and more efficiently
  • Strengthen your relationships with colleagues, business partners, suppliers, and customers
  • Find and access the expertise and knowledge throughout your organization
  • Keep your projects on track and your team on the same page
  • Extend unified communications to IBM Lotus Notes®, Microsoft® Office, Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft SharePoint sites and applications (See application integration page.)
  • Use Web conferences to share presentations and documents
  • Stay connected to your team, even when you are away from your desk
  • Exchange IMs with people who use external, supported, public IM networks, such as AOL AIM®, ICQ®, Apple® iChat™, Yahoo® Messenger and Google Talk™
