Products & Applications

Showtime
My Blackberry Enterprise Server Push Utility for the Lotus Notes Client, allows you to create Jobs for individual Channel, Message, and Browser Content Pushes, as well as allows you to delete Pushed Channel Icons from defined recipient devices.

Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.

For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!

Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!

xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

When business gets tough, the tough get… Redguides!

IBM RedbooksBeing an active Redwiki author has it's priveledges! Just got an email (which was sent to all ITSO residents over the past 3 years) with exciting news from the IBM Redbooks team (emphasis mine):

"ITSO Global Content Services is excited to announce the introduction of IBM Redguides into the IBM Redbooks® publications family. The Redguides team has 15 Redguides available for download from www.ibm.com/Redbooks.

IBM Redguides bridge the gap between high-level sales collateral and traditional Redbooks publications. They were requested by and co-designed with technical business leaders. They offer IT architects, IT consultants, technical sales support staff and IT managers a pre-sales business view of technology rather than a post-sales focus on deployment. Redguides are about how to solve a business problem and provide business value with IBM solutions."

So far, no Lotus-specific Redguides, but hopefully we'll see something soon (this was announced only yesterday mind you).

While the above quote states that Redguides could benefit "IT architects, IT consultants, technical support staff, and IT managers", but I'd also keep your eyes open if you're a Lotus/IBM geek who wants to ramp up on the latest offerings from the IBM solutions portfolio. Aside from just making sure that you're informed on what's going on outside of your own technology investment bubble, Redguides can be invaluable tools for interal-sales: you are now armed and prepared to fight the good fight with business-friendly data (read: leave the geek-speak at the curb, we're talking to management here!) to get the solutions in-house that you know will address your customer needs.
