As a mid-sized or large enterprise, you are looking for cost-effective and fast ways to provide rich Unified Communications features to your corporate community (co-workers, commuters, managers, partners, third-parties) like enterprise telephony, click-to-dial on Lotus Notes/Sametime or external LDAP contacts, audio or video conferencing in HD mode, additional instant messaging outside the corporate network, file transfer and/or telephony presence synchronization with Sametime. This is what is-phone Desktop Notes/Sametime Edition has been designed for, providing rich UC features to Lotus corporate users with a seamless integration in their Notes or Sametime collaboration tools, whether hosted in the cloud (SaaS services) or on-premises, whatever the IP PBX or softswitch back-end is.
Key benefits for all companies using IBM Lotus Notes/Sametime 8.x
- Cost savings due to no licensing upgrade and changes in the IT/telecom eco-system Users running Lotus Notes client with embedded
Sametime - Entry or Standard versions - or Notes client without Sametime are allowed, from a IBM licensing perspective, to run is-phone for Lotus in their environment at no additional Lotus licensing costs.
In addition, is-phone for Lotus is agnostic with most SIP-enabled platforms in the back-end (Aastra, Alcatel, Avaya/Nortel, Broadsoft, Cisco, Genesys, Metaswitch, Siemens) as well as media servers like Polycom or Tandberg, allowing IT/telecom departments important CAPEX and OPEX cost savings (up to 75%).
- Faster UC adoption at no risk
is-phone for Lotus Notes/Sametime client applications can be freely evaluated by IT/telecom departments or hosted service providers in their production environment and validate use cases and UC features in days, just requiring SIP account credentials for test. Once validated, IT/telecom administrators or service providers can quickly start the roll-out phase in a fully automated way by using the remote provisioning mechanism embedded in is-phone client, either synced with Lotus Notes or IP PBX administration tools.
