SharePoint & Lotus

We hope you enjoyed yesterday’s popular webinar, with a record-breaking 189 online attendees!

Yaacov Cohen, CEO of Mainsoft, presented the business case of integrating SharePoint with your e-mail application, be it Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook. I also had the opportunity to show a product demo with use-cases of how SharePoint and e-mail go hand-in-hand. At the end there was a lively Q&A session with really great questions from the audience.

Join our upcoming live webinar on SharePoint 2010 and Lotus Notes integration. It takes place on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT / 6:00 PM GMT. Here’s the blurb:
