Nokia and Lotus Further Collaboration Adding Mobility to Intranets with Domino Everyplace Quick Start

Delivering on plans to support seamless connections between Nokia's WAP technology and Lotus' Domino product, Lotus and Nokia today announce that the Nokia WAP Server will be integrated into the newly released Domino Everyplace Quick Start, a turn-key WAP solution which links corporate intranets with wireless devices.

"This marks a major initiative and, at the same time, the first of several joint Lotus and Nokia initiatives in the pipeline as mobile access takes center stage in transforming an organisation's Domino users to the wireless space," commented Fritz Fleischmann, Lotus' Senior Vice-President and General Manager in Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Nokia has proven to be a key partner as we extend our corporate collaborative solutions to meeting the evolving needs of the wireless enterprise."

"With this combined offering, the extensive number of current Lotus users will benefit from immediate mobile access via WAP to the knowledge and communication space that Lotus Domino offers." says Pertti Lounamaa, Vice President, Nokia Internet Communications. "An exciting consequence is that we can expect mobile productivity applications to become available through Lotus' partners around the world who can use the Domino Everyplace as a platform."

With the Nokia WAP Server and Domino WAP connector, content from Domino databases is converted into Wireless Mark-up Language (WML) to deliver a personally configured portal accessible by the WAP device. Domino Everyplace can map any Domino Intranet application to the WAP Portal and is based on Domino-supported open standards (including IMAP, SMTP and LDAP). Key features include:

· Personally configured WAP Portal
· Authentication to a Lotus Domino server
· Customised menus for different user groups
· WAP-based Domino e-mail, calendar, to-do lists and corporate directories
