New Features Directly Derived from Customer Feedback

Instant Technologies, specialists in developing innovative, enterprise-class compliance and productivity solutions for IBM Lotus Sametime and Microsoft Office Communications Server, today released Instant Team Sessions v3.1.

 

Instant Team Sessions is the leading persistent chat solution for Lotus Sametime.  Team Sessions allows teams to instantly share ideas, documents, and information in Lotus Sametime-based persistent virtual meeting rooms to facilitate real-time collaboration.  Rooms are secure and discussions are encrypted.

 

The Team Sessions server automatically records discussions and manages content such as images, documents, or spreadsheets.  And when new participants enter the Sametime persistent chat room (ie, the ‘Team Session’), they are instantly provided with a history of the discussion.

 

Version 3.1 includes three major enhancements:

 

1. Web client now supports Ubuntu (version 8 and 9) and CentOS.
2. The Team Sessions system can now synchronize Team Sessions archives and content with external Lotus Notes discussion databases.  This is the first time that Sametime Persistent Chat Rooms have been integrated with Notes discussion databases.
3. Enhanced support for embedding Instant Team Sessions persistent chat rooms within the Notes 8.5 client.

 

“These enhancements are a direct result of customer feedback,” says Peyton McManus, President of Instant Technologies.  “As always, our customers are the primary drivers for our product development efforts.  We continually advance our Team Sessions product roadmap – and the roadmap for all our products – with the assistance of our customers and partners.”

 

One of Instant’s largest defense customers requested the support for Linux.  And the synchronization between Notes discussion databases and Team Sessions’ content repository was enabled at the request of a large university customer in Canada.

 

Instant Team Sessions v3.1 is available now.  Recorded demo movies are available at http://www.instant-tech.com/resources/demos.cfm.
