BOF115 - IBM Connections 3.01 – Enhancement ideas from Connections users

BOF106 - Automation of Lotus Notes / Domino processes
Everyone is aware of the typical problems faced by administrators who have to perform all the administration processes. There are numerous help requests from users who have forgotten their passwords, users who require a new database for a project and users who need to change their names. The admins’ duties also include setting up email accounts for every new employee, implementing a new server and migrating Lotus Notes Users etc. Admins are busy all day with those requests. The delegation to the helpdesk is difficult because of the high manual complexity and required high access level. We will discuss how one can automate processes which previously had to be performed manually. We will explain how the requests can be delegated to the helpdesk and even to users themselves, and how a kind of self-service for employees can be created. This automation saves time and effort as well as minimizes mistakes and possible misunderstandings so that users and admins can work more efficiently.

BOF107 - Sametime 8.5.2 has the best video capabilities ever... but where do I start?
If you’re new to video, there are a whole list of new technologies, terminologies, and requirements. Start here to learn the basics of Video collaboration with Sametime and how it is similar and different from the existing UC&C tools you already know and love. Network environments are typically the domain of IT. The video collaboration environment has traditionally been under the control of the AV team. However, as Sametime 8.5.2 has helped to unify communication and collaboration, many IT managers and IT staff members find themselves responsible for video collaboration tools that they know very little about. Learn the basics of 2-way video technologies, from H.264 to CAC, from “Hollywood Squares” to HD, from desktop to mobile to the conference room. Learn what's the difference between jitter, latency and packet loss. Learn all about what Sametime can do “out of the box” and how it can be extended to do even more, maybe even by leveraging technology your company already owns.
