Sorry for the posting delay, but I did post twice Monday :-)

Carl Tyler dropped in (virtually) and linked
back to a thread he had on his
blog about my last posting. Which of course I lacked in reading his
recently as I haven't surfed the blogs much or caught up on RSS. So
on to his thread and some more thoughts. Nevermind what the analysts
say, or the IBM spokesperson. She did come out and say IBM might
rethink it though through customer demand. Interesting as the customer
is demanding it already and that is why Microsoft did the announcement.
She also went on to say she won't let recent news in the press set
the agenda. I agree when people are talking about some hot new technology
that isn't proven. But when you already offer the largest seat count
of enterprise chat software, it really isn't too recent of news to make
plans to take over it all.
I think it would be great if Lotus could
enter the an agreement in letting them add connectivity in their enterprise
client, or do namespace mapping for internal names through the LDAP directory.
I will even step back and say SIMPLE could be the way to go. But
which ever way, state it loudly and make the tools available. I talk
to many sites that do not understand that the SIP gateway is there on another
cd ready to install. Or better yet, what the heck to do with it.
Sure there is documentation (before I get a nasty email from someone),
but it is not clear what needs to be done on the other sides to make it
work all the time. Maybe a Redpiece or something on the topic would
stir some enthusiasm. Hey Carl, want to get together and write a
white paper?
