■ How Notes/Domino will be extended to provide modern, in-context social
collaboration capabilities:

─ The OpenSocial container is a standards-based platform for development of a
reusable set of “gadgets” from both IBM and third parties (e.g., social mail, activity
stream, embedded experiences)

in-context
─ “Embedded Experiences” - bringing collaboration in-context results in tighter
integration across iNotes, Connections, Notes, app dev (Xpages), and third party
products and services
■ Increased emphasis on web and mobile interfaces
■ Continuous improvements to Lotus Notes, Notes Traveler, Domino Designer

The future of mail is social
 IBM Connections Mail is the evolution of collaboration and messaging

Not a product – a service you can tap into wherever you are

Brings all your interactions together in one place – mail, social homepage,
communities, centralized/shared information, business applications and
processes
 Accessible from anywhere – using your device of choice
 Tailored to you and your device
 Evolved capabilities
 Simple – intuitive and easy to use
 Integrated – find what and who you need in one place, without switching
between applications

Social – the familiarity of e-mail in the context of a social networking experience

Secure – mitigates security risks
“Very soon, you won't be able to see email and social networking separate. Email will not die,
it will in fact have more flavour and will be more integrated."
-- Neha Gupta, senior research analyst, Gartner

Connections Mail
Planned for IBM Connections “Next”
■ Connections Mail moves activities previously conducted in the inbox
across social communities

document-centric; from “sending to sharing”
■ Integration of social capabilities within the business process promotes
uptake of social tools
■ Improved use of contacts and people in your social network
■ Promotes access to current data so business decisions are not made with
outdated information
■ Over time, Connections Mail connects the user to just the conversations
and content they need
■ Delivers an environment where information you need finds you, rather than
you having to find information
■ Available for both Domino and Exchange messaging server environments


IBM Connections Mail
■ Provides a simple, elegant web mail and
calendar experience allowing people to
remain within IBM Connections

■ Provides similar user experience across
multiple corporate mail systems:
Exchange & Domino

components integrated into IBM
Connections 4

■ Delivers linked value of mail and social
business integration thru Embedded
Experiences (EE) and OpenSocial2
standard

■ Fully accessible solution (WCAG 2.0 AA
and section 508 compliant)
