Real-Time Collaboration Seminar in Frankfurt recap days 1-2
Tags :Sametime Sametime Gateway Blackberry
Everyone in the room just about had a Blackberry. So all those talks about not many European countries having them is way off in this attendee group.
Sametime 7.5 was not widely deployed, it was only in testing at a couple sites. Scaling the current sites as they migrate was a key factor to the entire group. They had many wishlist items, some of which I posted into the necessary forums.
There was no chat logging requirements or demand from anyone here. Most of the concern seemed to be, from my angle, how this gets deployed, how I manage the new Sametime Connect client, what kind of plug-ins are available and issues around current deployments.
Now one thing I hold close is the Sametime Gateway. Eyebrows were raised when we covered this topic as the business need could not be defined. Each of the US cities we did for this seminar wanted more time for this topic. Here, it was well received, but we spent extra time on reasoning and doing live demonstrations showing the differences live in how a user would appear using a public name versus a corporate name in the public systems. I had a couple side questions after the sessions that showed there was some interest now that it was better understood.
More after we start the Blackberry sessions.
