IBM (twice) and Oracle say Beehive yourself (and a pic)


Tags :


Interesting twist.  At Lotusphere (a time when we became able to talk about it it seems), they were busy showing off a slew of collaboration tools on the Innovations Lab.  Beehive was one of those tools.  Another collaboration/social networking/put your data here site for the enterprise.

Well Oracle announced Beehive, their collaboration offering also.  It includes:

  • Web conferencing
  • instant messaging
  • email
  • calendaring
  • team workspaces
  • On Demand hosted or install yourself
It is supposedly standards based, hot pluggable, etc etc etc.  While it sounds more like Notes, Sametime and Quickr, the timing is impeccable.  I also have some test accounts for the next month if anyone wants to play.  Twitter me.

The images from the two companies:
