The Emerging ODF Environment, Part V: Spotlight on IBM Workplace
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: Please compare Workplace to Google's Writely and its new Web-based
| spreadsheet....
|
| A: Tools like Google Writely, Web-based speadsheets as
| well as others such as WikiCalc are certainly showing us what is possible
| in a network-centric, browser-based paradigm and it is very exciting. We
| certainly are looking to adapt many of these concepts into the Workplace
| vision. Workplace, however, is a much more comprehensive vision than
| these point products.
|
| Q: What products make up Workplace, both current
| and under development?
|
| A: Workplace is comprised of a large variety of
| collaboration and management tools and components. It includes a
| role-based, device location and context sensitive portal framework,
| Domino collaboration services including email, calendar, personal
| information management, and many other services such as portlet factory,
| Web content management, Search, Forms, Workflow, realtime collaboration
| services, Document management, Team spaces, and eLearning, remote
| management, provisioning and syncronization. It also includes a collection
| of full function productivity editors that support ODF.
