Right on the heels of the SIP announcements, here comes one for Sametime

Not to be left out, like IBM was last time when the vendors discussed opening connections with SIP, here comes an announcement everyone would want to see.

Instant messaging software firm Jabber has outlined plans for an XMPP-to-SIP Gateway that opens the door for interoperability with IBM's Lotus IM product.

Jabber said the XMPP-to-SIP server-to-server Gateway would connect its Jabber XCP communications platform with IBM's Lotus IM offering, which uses the SIMPLE protocol

What does this mean to me I hear you asking?  Well in the fourth quarter this year, it looks like the product will ship and Lotus will be able to connect via SIMPLE to Jabber networks.   Now why is that good news?  Jabber works across XMPP and can connect to numerous IM packages.  Sounds like a winner to me.


Apparently Ed talked about this (as he so kindly reminded me) but heck, with his traffic and blogging quantity I forgot.  Sorry.  Here is his link
