Sametime

IBM Notes can be used with IBM Sametime instant-messaging to allow to see other users online and chat with one or more of them at the same time.

In response to the demand for business-grade IM and the need to ensure security and legal compliance, a new type of instant messaging, called "Enterprise Instant Messaging" ("EIM") was created when Lotus Software launched IBM Lotus Sametime in 1998.

Presence awareness is available in email and other IBM Domino applications for users in organizations that use both IBM Notes and IBM Sametime.
