Binary Tree Announces CMT for Coexistence 2.0 with Advanced Calendar Support between IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange

New Version Ensures Calendars Stay Synchronized between Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook Users Even When Recurring Meetings are Updated or Rescheduled

NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Binary Tree announced today CMT for Coexistence(TM) 2.0 which adds advanced calendar support for organizations attempting to seamlessly coexist with the IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange platforms. In addition to being the only 3rd party Enterprise Messaging and Application Coexistence solution available on the market today, CMT for Coexistence 2.0 now solves one of the biggest obstacles to cross-platform collaboration between users of IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange by ensuring that their calendars stay synchronized when someone changes or reschedules a recurring meeting.

CMT for Coexistence was created to eliminate the disruptions to user productivity, collaboration, and business processes caused by missing coexistence functionality in native SMTP transport, on which other coexistence solutions, including Microsoft’s Transporter Suite, rely. While the native SMTP transport represents a robust connection between IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange, it lacks key calendaring synchronization functionality, it displays confusing SMTP names rather than simple user names, it doesn’t allow Outlook users to properly view email-embedded Lotus database links, document links, and view links, and it prevents Outlook users from acting upon email-embedded Lotus forms and buttons.

“Our previous version of CMT for Coexistence resolved most of the shortcomings of coexistence between Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange,” stated Vadim Gringolts, Binary Tree CTO. “And now with CMT for Coexistence 2.0, we’ve been able to resolve all of the customer-critical shortcomings in the Transporter-based coexistence solution. Our current customers have been very appreciative of the updates that we have made in this version of the software.”

CMT for Coexistence 2.0 adds functionality to the Microsoft Transporter Suite by acting as a traffic cop on the Domino server in the form of an add-in task and Extension Manager. It identifies message types and automatically “massages” them to produce the intended result. CMT for Coexistence also enables organizations to continue to run their Lotus Notes applications seamlessly with either on-premises or hosted configurations of Microsoft Exchange, including with Microsoft Exchange Online.

CMT for Coexistence enhances the functionality of email sent between IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook users:

• Enables Notes users to view traditional hierarchical name addresses in their emails and calendar invitations rather than the confusing SMTP names addressing
• Enables Outlook users to see database links, view links, and document links with their corresponding graphic icons just like they appear to Notes users
• Enables Outlook users to view and act on email-embedded Lotus forms and buttons

CMT for Coexistence enhances the functionality of calendar events sent between IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook users:

• Removes the duplicate entry of the meeting chair person from calendar invitations sent by Outlook users to their Notes invitees
• Removes duplicate and incorrect attendee status entries of Outlook users from the views of Notes users who send calendar invitations to Outlook users
• Ensures that attachments to calendar invitations sent by Notes users arrive to their Outlook invitees and vice versa
• Removes erroneous attachments from calendar invitations sent from Notes users to Outlook users
• Enables Outlook users to reserve rooms and resources defined in the Domino-based resource reservation database
• Ensures that updates and reschedules to recurring meetings made by either Outlook or Notes users are properly updated for their invitees
