SharePoint & Lotus

developerWorks editor Scott Laningham just posted an interview with Chris Lamb, Senior Marketing Manager for IBM Lotus Connections, and Yaacov Cohen, Mainsoft's CEO.  They talk about the benefits of integrating IBM Lotus Connections with IBM Rational Team Concert to expand communications about software deliveries to include business stakeholders and end users, in addition to technical teams worldwide.
 

Mainsoft today released a technology preview of Lotus Connections social software integration with Rational Team Concert.
 

A very informative guest post on Document Collaboration, written by Mainsoft’s Dekel Cohen, is now available.

As Nicholas Hoover describes in his recent InformationWeek article, Mainsoft Enables Collaboration via SharePoint, Lotus Quickr:
"Technologies for collaborative software development are nothing new, as IBM Rational Team Concert and Microsoft Visual Studio Team System can attest. Those technologies, however, leave a gap between developers and business employees and managers, often causing software development to proceed slower than desired or results that don't meet business demands."

Since Lotusphere, our product marketing and development teams have been working full steam ahead to prepare for the launch of Mainsoft Document Collaboration for Rational Jazz, Microsoft SharePoint and Lotus Quickr integrations. Available in just a few weeks, the connectors integrate document libraries stored either on Microsoft SharePoint or Lotus Quickr with Rational Team Concert.

This morning we had a web seminar, with Bernie Coyne from IBM Rational, introducing Mainsoft Document Management for Rational Jazz, SharePoint Edition. We are expanding the coexistence concept to the Rational brand, integrating SharePoint document libraries and workflows to Rational Jazz, the new software development collaboration platform.
