IBM LAUNCHES NEW E-MAIL

By K.C.Bishoppe

IBM recently launched LotusLive iNotes to compete with Microsoft Exchange and Google Gmail. An on-demand e-mail, calendaring and contact management system with pricing starting at $3 per user per month, IBM is aiming at large enterprises wanting to migrate on-premise e-mail system to a hosted service.

The service is also attracting smaller companies that are interested in on-demand software that have concerns about security and service outages similar to those suffered by Gmail.

IBM purchased the technology for LotusLive iNotes from Outblaze, a Hong Kong company.
