OpenSpan Unveils New Version of Windows Container for Lotus

Extends Personal Workflow Management Capabilities, Accelerating Lotus Notes Deployments

Lotusphere 2010, Orlando, Florida—January 18, 2010— OpenSpan, Inc., a leader in personal workflow management software, today announced the newest version of the OpenSpan Windows Container for Lotus. The OpenSpan Windows Container extends the capabilities of IBM Lotus Notes and IBM® Lotus® Expeditor to integrate with native Windows applications.

Lotus Expeditor enables organizations to improve productivity by integrating a wide variety of client and server applications in composite applications. OpenSpan Windows Container extends the value of Lotus Expeditor by providing rapid integration with entire enterprise applications, beyond just snippets of application components. With OpenSpan Windows Container, enterprise application suites such as SAP, Oracle and BMC Remedy can be quickly integrated with IBM Lotus Notes, without accessing the application's source code. This allows Lotus Notes customers to realize end user productivity and efficiency improvements across the entire organization. Additionally, the new OpenSpan Scripting Container enables organizations to build advanced automations using JavaScript, further extending the value of Lotus composite solutions.

OpenSpan Windows Container is compatible with Lotus Notes 8.5.1 or greater and Lotus Expeditor 6.2.1 or greater. It allows applications built in Visual Basic, .NET, Win32, PowerBuilder and more to be included in composite applications and integrated with Lotus Notes.

"OpenSpan Windows Container provides rapid, codeless integration with Windows applications, including full integration with leading enterprise applications, enabling IBM Lotus customers to more quickly realize a return on their IT investments," said Eric Musser, CEO, OpenSpan. "By continuing to build on relationships with industry leaders such as IBM, OpenSpan is helping its customers improve personal workflow management and a user's desktop productivity."

The OpenSpan Windows Container has received the Ready for Lotus Certification and is listed in the IBMLotus Business Solutions Catalog. OpenSpan will be demonstrating the power of the OpenSpan Windows Container for Lotus at booth # 418 at IBM Lotusphere 2010, being held January 17 - 21 at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Fla.
