Hi,
If anyone reading this forum is going to the portal excellence conference in San Diego or Salzburg stop by and introduce yourself. I'll be at both with a hands on lab going through many of the questions we get in this forum.
Session Number: B14
Hands-On Lab: Get the most out of your Social Software by Integrating Portal with Quickr J2EE and Connections
Lab – Intermediate
Charlie Price, IBM IT Advisory Engineer
Grigory Presayzen, IBM Advisory Software Engineer
Get hands on technical and configuration experience integrating Lotus Quickr services for Portal 8.1.1 and Lotus Connections 2.5. You will begin with Quickr services for Portal and Lotus Connections installed and configured with a common LDAP directory. From here you will configure new integration options available between Lotus Connections 2.5 communities and activities and Lotus Quickr 8.1.1 Next you will walk thru a technical exploration of these integration points to see how the integration gives the communities in your organization a place to store and manage files and how the aggregate updates in the community overview page, makes it easier to stay current with projects and work collaboratively. By covering the architecture, technical and configuration details of Quickr and Connections, you will be more prepared to isolate, manage and troubleshoot problems experienced with the environment, enabling rapid deployment and productive use of social software in your environment. Thru this lab you should see how these integration points can help your end users collaborate more efficiently, and be able to deploy and troubleshoot this quickly in your environment.
Also at the Salzburg conference, I'll be doing a presentation:
Session Number: B06
Build for Success: Getting the Most Out of Lotus Collaboration and Social Software
Lecture – Beginner
Charlie Price, IBM IT Advisory Engineer
Grigory Presayzen,, IBM IT Advisory Engineer
In this technical session, we'll explore a number of ways to integrate the latest Lotus products into WebSphere Portal including Lotus Domino, Lotus Quickr, Lotus Connections and Lotus Sametime. Beginning with off the shelf products, we'll discuss and demonstrate how you can quickly deploy an integrated architecture. We'll also discuss the technology foundation found in many IBM products, and how you can discover integration points for instant re-use. The latter half of the session will be a series of design and business problems, and how IBM software and application development can be used to solve those problems. One such solution involves recreating Sametime integration to deliver substantial performance improvement in WebSphere Portal. All of which is easier than you might expect.
Hope to see some of you there.
Charlie
