Lotus Connections Proof of Technology (PoT) review


Tags :


Back on November 26th I announced that the Connections PoT was coming to St Louis.  I went ahead and attended the event and made a bland comment on Twitter yesterday that elicited some response and prompted this blog posting.  While there was tons of content presented at the session, the book itself is like 2 inches think of labs and slide printouts, the topics had to be covered too fast.

A proof of technology to me is not just two laptops running the Lotus Connections servers in the room with everyone doing the labs from another laptop.  They rolled so fast through deployment architecture everyone was left reeling.  While some diagram pictures should a bunch of servers, they never really let you know to do a large scale implementation would not only take tons of man hours, but tons of hardware.

I know the time was consolidated, it just seemed this was more of a listing of technology and proof of end user.  The presenters did a fine job of giving their own insight into easing the install, and answered many questions, there was far too much more than needed explanation for those that were new to the product and social networking in the enterprise as a whole.
