Presence and Real Time Collaboration in Lotus Notes using Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 – finally

A post by Gary Devedorf who continues to focus on interoperability of the 2 platforms …

Microsoft has updated it’s tool kit to include utilities and documentation for adding OCS  “Presence” to Lotus Notes applicatons.  You will find 4 databases.  One is a sample Notes mail template with the presence control in the “Memo”  form.  Then there is a sample application with Forms and Views with “Presence”.  Thirdly is a database for DBLookups of SIP IDs if you don’t use e-mail addresses as your SIP ID.  Lastly is a database that installs the controls via Notes clients.   You will want to sign the databases.   So if you have Office Communications Server and Lotus Notes, all the work of linking the environments is done for you.  

If you try it, let me know how it went.
