IBM Gives Mac Users Lotus Notes Love
IBM is now shipping Lotus Notes 8.5 for Mac OS X, plus IBM's free Lotus Symphony document, spreadsheet, and presentation software will be available later this month for the Mac.
IBM says Lotus Notes 8.5 provides significant storage savings over previous versions. Notes has an intelligent storage savings feature that ensures that only one copy of an attachment is kept on the mail server, resulting in an estimated 40 percent space savings.
Lotus Notes 8.5 consolidates key business communications applications into a single interface, including links to team rooms, instant messaging, to do lists, calendars, Internet browsers, and other tools. Users can also integrate Google, Yahoo, and hundreds of other public Internet calendars into Notes 8.5, which lets users display multiple personal and work calendars at the same time.
"Notes 8.5 has allowed our Mac users to make full use of a non-Microsoft environment with all the advances of the latest Notes functionality," says Mark Calleran, CIO of The Salvation Army's International Headquarters.
Discovery Communications is another leading organization, IBM says, that uses Lotus Notes 8.5 for the Macintosh.
