NewsGator Extends RSS-Reading Capabilities to Lotus Platform

NewsGator Technologies, Inc. announced two new RSS readers for IBM's Lotus messaging and collaboration environments. The NewsGator Plug-In for Lotus Notes delivers RSS feed-reading capabilities within Lotus Notes versions 6.5 and higher, while the NewsGator Plug-in for Lotus Sametime adds this capability to version 7.5 of the enterprise instant messaging client. The plug-ins are available as options to the NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES) solution, which provides centralized management and delivery of RSS feeds to the Web, desktops, e-mail clients, portals and mobile devices. These RSS readers allow organizations to deliver updates from news sites, blogs, wikis, content management systems and enterprise applications directly into an environment users are familiar with. Employees can also access the same information on company intranets and portals, mobile devices or their desktop without seeing the same information over again. NewsGator Enterprise Server is a product for aggregating, reading and distributing RSS content within the enterprise. It brings NewsGator's RSS platform behind the firewall, providing enterprise class security, manageability and deployment. NGES optionally integrates with Microsoft Exchange LDAP servers. http://www.newsgator.com
