SharePoint & Lotus

Calendar has rapidly become a business-critical application as we all try to manage our time and our life balancing between multiple teams, family and community commitments. Many enterprises are already using SharePoint Team Calendars to manage events such as sales meetings and team calendars. Team collaboration requires team-aware calendaring so your schedule fits with your team’s schedule. This is a key requirement for our Notes-SharePoint customers.

The second Preview release of Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator for Lotus Notes 2.0 is now available! This new release, which integrates with Lotus Notes 8.5 Standard Configuration, lets you embed SharePoint calendars in Notes. You will now be able to create, edit and remove SharePoint events in the same way as you work with Notes calendar items.

In a recent post on this blog, Jonas shared with us his team's latest progress on SharePoint calendar federation in Notes. Here is a real use case:
 
I have been working on our next sales meeting agenda, which takes place next week. I created  a meeting workspace for our sales meeting on our SharePoint site, added a calendar web part and created all the calendar events. Naturally, I want to enable our team members to be able to see the sales meeting calendar from their Notes client calendar.
