IBM Touting Notes/Domino 8
Though Lotus isn’t scheduled to introduce ND7 until the third quarter of 2005 Lotus is already showing off some of the capabilities that it’s working to add to a later iteration code named “Hannover”. This and all planned to arrive 12 to 18 months after the release of Notes 7.
According to Lotus officials, at least part of the reason behind divulging its future plans for Notes is to quiet rumors that the company remains uncommitted to the Notes product line.
Hannover will be designed to let people organize and manage their information based on a specific project or topic across various Notes tools. Using a demonstration version of the software, Loria showed that if a person were to click on an e-mail related to a specific issue, he or she could quickly access all of the correspondence that might have been received about the topic from others, regardless of the manner in which those messages were sent. Data could also be organized to reflect communications with a particular person, or group of people, using the software.
