Sametime 7.5 – upgrading is going to be cool!

Technorati tag(s):

The buzz about the next release of Sametime started at Lotusphere 2006 and now IBM is starting to really tease us. The new information is looking VERY promising. While I guess the users will mainly focus on the updated UI the release brings a host to new features of which I’m really excited about a couple of them:

  • A supported, standards based, plugin architecture for 3rd party extension
  • Location based awareness
  • Possibility to save chat history
  • Administration of users and groups based on policies
  • Emoticons (I think it definately has its place in business IM’ing)
