IBM last week launched a public beta of its Lotus Notes and Domino 8 e-mail and collaboration software.
The public beta is designed to offer such features as a choice in office productivity tools and the ability to group related e-mail messages together based on conversation threads, under Lotus Notes 8.
IBM expects its Lotus Notes and Domino 8 program to be available in the middle of this year.
In January, IBM tried to grow its presence in the collaborative software market by announcing a series of new and extensively revised products, including its first product aimed at the field of social networking.
Five product announcements took place at January's Lotusphere, including the launch of Lotus Connections, the company's new social networking product. Lotus Connections was billed by the head of IBM Lotus, general manager Mike Rhodin, as "the first business-ready social-networking application".
