Lotus to acquire two
Companies that
offer real-time
Messaging and Groupware
|
Lotus will acquire DataBeam Corp. and Ubique
Ltd., leaders in real-time communications software, to bring a real-time dimension
to messaging and groupware. Lotus will base this work on its Notes and Domino
software products and the technologies and expertise of the acquired companies.
DataBeam develops and markets real-time conferencing and distance-learning servers.
Ubique's technology makes users aware of other online users who are working in
the same "virtual place", e.g., the same Web page.

and Domino. The resulting products will include tools for awareness of online colleagues;
a range of real-time conversation types; and the ability to share, co-author, and
edit objects, documents, or Web pages.
