IBM and SAP have announced plans to launch their first joint software product codenamed 'Atlantic' that will integrate IBM Lotus notes software with SAP business suite.

IBM said that the combined efforts will result in a new style of applications that present information and data in the context of users familiar with the Lotus Notes desktop.

IBM and SAP have collaborated to bring joint customers cutting-edge solutions to improve business efficiency at more than 13,000 client sites for their millions of users. Currently planned for inclusion in the first release of project 'Atlantic' is support for SAP workflows, reporting and analytics, and the use of roles from within the Lotus Notes client.

Michael Rhodin, general manager of Lotus Software at IBM, said: "We're creating a richer collaboration environment. Businesses are looking to find better ways to collaborate and manage their business processes. This IBM-SAP solution addresses both challenges in one seamless package for millions of users."
