There has been a lot of news recently in the Lotus brand. There have been updates to the LotusLive offering with the addition of ProjExec, over the wire mailbox transfers, and updated Files functionality.
For this Blog, we are going to focus on the ProjExec news. This is exciting because we have used ProjExec in the past to work with our clients.
For those of you not familiar with ProjExec, it is a social Project Management tool built by the Trilog Group, a long time Lotus partner.
Last year, we started to use LotusLive as our primary vehicle when working with our clients. We create Communities, and add our clients as guests into them. One piece we always wanted was the ability to include more of the Project Management functions. Like most organizations, we use MS Project to manage the daily tasks of our engagement. With this new addition in LotusLive, it will make it that much easier.
ProjExec is also social. I hear and read that social PM is a hot subject. Project Managers can invite other IBM LotusLive users (including external guests) by listing them as project members. Project team members and stakeholders can get automatic project status updates, plus communicate and share in real-time using the Project Wall, a Facebook-style activity stream spanning multiple projects. ProjExec Live also integrates with IBM LotusLive services such as Profiles, Communities, Activities, Files and Meetings to maximize the social project experience.
