Workplace Services Express 2.6 due out late May04/27/2006 12:30 PMLocation : Office
I read in the blogosphere that IBM is releasing
WSE 2.6 in May. Key benefits of the upgrade are:
Technorati: Workplace Services Express, WSE, Workplace, IBM
- Greater Capacity. I guess this means more users and the ability to have more Applications running.
- DB2 Express included
- Workplace Designer included. This is just about the first time I have heard about Workplace Designer somewhere other than LotusSphere. We have been working with Workplace Designer since Nov 2006. It really is an essential part of WSE as the out of the box application templates are somewhat limited. Great as examples but you really need to be able to create your own to get true value out of WSE. Kind of like Notes without Domino Designer. The good news is that for Notes developers Workplace Designer is a very freindly environment that most developers should be comfortable with. Just need to brush up on that Javascript code.
- Domino 7 support. I have to admit I wasn't aware Domino 7 wasn't supported before. We have been using Domino 7 with WSE for LDAP and Email/Calendars etc since WSE 2.5 but I guess it just means more support.
- Exchange 2003 support. This is great as it means that the traditional Microsoft sites can still use WSE. It positions WSE directly against Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server.
- Upgrade tools for 2.5 versions. Great. Should be a straightforward upgrade then.
- Pricing and licensing looks the same. The pricing for WSE is really not too bad. As it is under the Express Pricing it is just a per user cost.
