WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2009 — BA-Insight, the global leader in Microsoft-based information access technology, today announced the release of the Lotus Notes Connector for SharePoint, the next release, in a growing suite of connectors for Microsoft SharePoint. Co-developed in partnership with Axceler, an IBM Business Partner and Certified Lotus Advisor, the Notes Connector enables organizations to automatically connect SharePoint to Notes, and expose the data to users securely through an intuitive search interface. The Product will be unveiled for the first time at Lotusphere 2009, January 18-22 in Orlando, Florida.
"Partnering with Axceler was a key element of our success in developing this technology. Axceler has extensive experience in the IBM Lotus Notes market, so they are very familiar with real-world content management challenges of Notes clients," explained Guy Mounier, BA-Insight's CEO. "Combined with BA-Insight's experience in delivering state of the art Microsoft based information access solutions, the partnership yielded a product that fills the gap in the market to integrate both platforms."
The major issue with connecting SharePoint to Lotus Notes today is to properly map security in a scalable way. The Lotus Notes Connector for SharePoint brings exciting new capabilities to the marketplace, such as automatic security mapping from Notes to Active Directory, and automatic property extraction and mapping. The Lotus Notes Connector for SharePoint fits nicely into an Enterprise Search strategy that provides end-user unified access to content across SharePoint, Notes, and other repositories, or a Notes migration strategy that enables instant integration of Notes into SharePoint, while content is migrated to the SharePoint platform.
"With this Notes Connector release, Axceler further demonstrates our growing momentum in the SharePoint marketplace," commented Axceler President Michael Alden. "Our goal is to provide our enterprise customers with comprehensive visibility and insight into their SharePoint environments. We are further able to achieve this by partnering with BA-Insight and marrying their extensive SharePoint expertise with our acute understanding of Lotus Notes technology."
