If you read the above title and think that there must be something wrong – there is. Please read on…
The other day I received a letter from IBM here in Denmark with an invitation to an annual event held by IBM in Copenhagen called IBM Software Day. The letter also contained the flyer shown above. Not surprisingly the topic of this year is SOA with emphasis on the recent release of Notes 8. That message did however get lost to me in my disbelief over how poorly thought through this flyer is.
Is it just me or isn’t there (yet) a product called Sametime 8? Is it just me or would the IBM lawyers be unhappy if I made a publication calling Notes 8 for “Lotus 8” as the authors do on the flipside of the flyer? I think so…
I was simply disappointed by the fact that IBM Denmark could be so careless and I’m a little sad that I have to explain to customers, should anyone else notice and ask, that there isn’t in fact a Sametime 8 product out and what they mean by “Lotus 8”.
That is – unless there isn’t a product called Sametime 8… 😉
