In a recent blog about Enterprise Twitter, Mike Giotta of the Burton Group described 10 questions that enterprises will ask regarding the use of microblogging tools. One question was “Integration with Microsoft Communicator and IBM Sametime”. At first, I disregarded the idea and thought “who needs an integration? They are two tools based on two different collaborative metaphors”. After a round of sauna, I started to think about ways that the two might complement one another. Based on this “heated” discussion with myself, I set out and tried to create use cases for this integration.

Mike Gotta speaks
Mike Gotta is one of the fiercest yet knowledgeable analysts around all things 2.0. Here’s what he had to say regarding ‘presence’, a key component in the ESME story:
Larger vendors such as IBM would have to break from its UC-centric thinking around presence as would Microsoft. For Microsoft however this type of move is almost unimaginable given the centricity of OCS around SIP/SIMPLE and Microsoft’s reluctance to integrate and interoperate with other vendors on a level playing field when it comes to presence. Oracle remains a dark horse as does SAP, although ESME is a nice start (congrats BTW to the people involved in ESME and to Dennis Howlett who seems to be the proud mother at the moment).
BTW – blushing wildly at last statement. Never seen myself as ‘mother’ before.
