Found this on BOBZ JOT - Integrates into LOTUS DOMINO [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ BOBz: Stock Tips ] Posted by Smitty on November 09, 1997 at 22:52:56: sideware Adds Functions To Domino By Deborah Gage VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Sideware Systems is launching a new type of groupware product and has plans for a line of Sideware software. Formerly known as Jot-It Software, Sideware has an alliance with Lotus Development and is integrating its Net Notions groupware with Lotus Domino. The product also will be sold separately. Net Notions is a client/server product that can be used both locally and over the Internet. It lets people exchange private or shared notes by posting them to Web pages, where they stay even after their creator has left. Changes are replicated and updated in real time. Notes can change size and color and can be color-coded by sender or topic. They can be closed and minimized, handle chat, and attach to calendars for setting meetings. Recipients can be notified of notes through a "flash-alert-message" containing the URL. "Anyone who knows the IP address and has a client can connect to the server and access folders with a password," said Anthony Bird, vice president of business development. "Without Net Notions you could send a Web page in E-mail, but it's frozen in time. Shared notes link you to an up-to-the-minute version." Sideware expects Net Notions to be especially useful for electronic commerce. The company will ship a Windows version in November and a Java version in the second quarter of 1998. A five-user starter kit will sell for $79.95, and a departmental version will sell for $700. Sideware expects to launch Net Notions on a virtual storefront and is talking with other ISVs about reselling their products under a Sideware category. "What makes us Sideware is concurrency, which we have patented. It lets our application run concurrently alongside others without being invasive, like ActiveX or plug-ins. It doesn't need any proprietary application's code and it doesn't change other applications. We are looking for other companies who want to work like this," Bird said. Sideware has budgeted $1.5 million for advertising to attract people to its storefront. The next stage is to sell through traditional channels and offer ways for VARs to use tools to add services, Bird said.
