IBM präsentiert mit iNotes ultralite eine Erweiterung von Lotus Notes und Domino, die das sichere mobile Arbeiten mit dem Apple iPhone ermöglicht. Mit dieser Anwendung können Nutzer von Lotus Notes ihre Emails sowie ihre Kalender und Kontaktlisten über das iPhone abrufen. Ebenfalls ab sofort erhältlich ist IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security. Dieses erste Produkt der neuen Lotus Protector Security-Familie schützt Unternehmen vor Bedrohungen aus dem Internet wie Spam und Viren und sichert damit Notes und Domino Systeme vor unerlaubtem Zugriff.
Diese beiden Produkte sind Teil der neuen „Tomorrow at Work“-Kampagne der IBM. Damit unterstützt die IBM die neuesten Technologien sowie den Trend zur Mobilität und gibt Unternehmen und deren Mitarbeitern in einer sicheren IT-Umgebung die größtmögliche Flexibilität bei der Ausgestaltung ihres Arbeitsplatzes.
iNotes ultralite ist Bestandteil der neuen Version Lotus Notes/Dominio 8.0.2. Notes 8.0.2 wurde vor allem in der Performance weiter optimiert und braucht so 20 Prozent weniger Speicher. Daneben enthält Lotus Notes 8.0.2 auch die neueste Version von Lotus Symphony, der kostenlosen und kompletten Alternative der IBM zum Microsoft Office Paket auf Basis vom Open Document Format.

Tomorrow at Work: IBM Lotus Notes and Domino Expands to New Markets with iPhoneTM, Security Software
Lotus Notes and Domino has grown to 140 million users worldwide
Armonk, NY – September 30, 2008, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced an expansion of its Lotus Notes and Domino collaboration flagship software to new markets and users with a new version that delivers higher levels of mobility and security for the iPhoneTM and another that protects companies from Internet-borne threats such as spam and viruses.
Lotus Notes and Domino software adoption has grown to more than 140 million licensed users worldwide.
The ability to connect to secure business email on devices such as the iPhone is an example of Tomorrow at Work (www.ibm.com/press/us/en/presskit/25100.wss (US)) an IBM initiative that examines a changing work world and anticipates trends in technology, business, society and culture.
Debuting in the top 20 Staff Picks in the on-line Apple Store, iNotesTM ultralite is a free software download that allows people to work with Lotus Notes email and view their calendar and contacts lists using the iPhone. iNotes ultralite is also included with IBM's new Lotus Notes software 8.0.2, which raises performance significantly, and uses 20 percent less memory than the previous version. Notes 8.0.2 also includes an updated version of Lotus Symphony, an easy-to-use document, spreadsheet and presentation software package based on the Open Document Format. This new Symphony has improved compatibility with Microsoft Office and supports 28 languages -- four more than the previous version.
iPhone users can access IBM iNotes ultralite through an intuitive interface via the Safari browser. For added security and protection of corporate data, iPhone users can choose to use IBM's Lotus Mobile Connect virtual private network software along with ultralite. The latest version of Lotus Mobile Connect, which became available at the end of June, makes the ultralite sign-on process even easier.
Here are comments from people who have started doing Notes email using their iPhones:
“It’s technology like this that enables us to be the kind of focused, smart agency that we are. As our clients and their needs continually evolve, we’re challenged to stay a mammoth step ahead. We’re in the business of creating energy around ourselves and all those we encounter, and without tools like iNotes, that wouldn’t be possible,” said Curtis Pogue, Systems Administrator at Vladimir Jones, an integrated marketing communications agency based in Colorado.
"I really like the iNotes ultralite mode. It is very fast, works well and has the same look and feel of the iPhone user interface. Congratulations to IBM on this introduction of support for the iPhone," according to Andy Brunner, Principal and Owner, ABData Information Technology Consulting and Engineering, in Zurich, Switzerland, IBM Business Partner and member of the Masters of Lotus Notes community.
IBM's new Lotus Protector for Mail Security, which protects companies from Internet-borne spam and viruses, is also available now. The first offering in the new Lotus Protector security family, it shields Notes and Domino systems and users from harmful and inappropriate content, secures company data from unauthorized access. Lotus Protector for Mail Security features a high-performance engine with comprehensive scanning and filtering techniques. It also features a sophisticated rules engine to block incoming and outgoing content based on customer specifications.
Lotus Notes and Domino has grown across small-medium business, and is used by more than half of the largest 100 corporations in the world, 80 percent of the top 10 global companies in banking, telecommunications, aerospace and defense, consumer products, electronics, insurance and pharmaceuticals.
