Time and time again developers create cool applications that users love.  Whether it is a web or mobile application their primary focus is on the UI and user interaction.  From the design and user-ability perspective that it is important.  However, majority of these applications are designed and built  without the consideration of data security or whether it compiles to government compliance and regulations.  Including security and following government dictated regulations seems to be an after thought.  Data security and compliance should not be an after thought, but part of your core design.  So as part of MWLUG/CollabSphere 2018, we have an entire track focused to Security and Compliance.   We hope to see everyone there at CollabSphere 2018 at the Sheraton Hotel in Ann Arbor, MI from July 23 to 25, 2018. To register go to  http://collabsphere.org/ug/collabsphere2018.nsf/register.html. Here is a list of Security and Compliance sessions at MWLUG/CollabSphere 2018

As I said in my previous blog, Node.js with Domino v10 brings significant opportunities to the ICS community whether you are an IBMers, IBM Customer, IBM Business Partner, ISV, developer or administrators. I have talked to a number of individuals and they feel there is a lot of potential for them.  IBM will be releasing two different betas.  The second beta will include the Node.js integration with Domino.  I wished it was included in the first beta. I would have love to test the Node integration earlier.  We have been waiting for the Node integration to extend the power of our iPhora platform. In preparation for the up and coming Node/Domino launch, we are providing an entire series of Node/Domino sessions and discussions at MWLUG/CollabSphere 2018 starting from the basics to the more advanced use of Node in Node-Red along with JavaScript sessions which will be critical for the development of applications with Node.js. We hope to see everyone there at CollabSphere 2018 at the Sh

I am please to announce the CollabSphere 2018 sessions are now available on the CollaSphere web site at http://collabsphere.org/ug/collabsphere2018.nsf/sessions.html.   We have great speakers coming from all over the world including close to two dozen IBM Champions. With the renew focus on the Domino 10 family of products plus IBM Watson Workspace and IBM Connections, CollabSphere 2018 will be celebrating our tenth anniversary with one of the best lineup of sessions we have ever had. 53 Business and Technical Sessions 8 Roundtables 6 Chat Sessions 3 Workshops Opening General Session Opening General Session - Domino Closing General Session

With IBM Domino v10 coming this fall, it brings one critical new feature to Domino, the integration of Node with Domino. IBM Domino v10 brings the most popular application development environment to the most secure application platform. Some are asking why does this matter. There are literally 10 tens of thousands of applications and NPM modules that have been developed  from of all sources, some professional and well trained developers and some home grown self taught developers. How many of these modules have been vetted by security experts is an important question to ask. What IBM Domino brings to the table is 30 years of security design and approaches. This is why it is important that IBM with HCL has carefully chosen the right modules to use.  Yes, they were behind on the TLS implementations, but the basic Domino architecture has capabilities still to this day have never been surpassed by others. DominoDB (as some now call it) with Node now brings Domino to a level where you ca

We are happy to announce that we are having a Spring 2018 GRANITE meeting.  We have renamed GRANITE to become CollabSphere-Chicago.  Our Spring 2018 meeting is packed with sessions.  We are fortunate enough to have a number of great speakers from IBM, IBM Customer, and IBM Partners.

I originally did not plan to go to IBM Think 2018. However, at the last minute I decided to go and I am glad that I went. Though my heart is in the ICS collaboration space, I spent the majority of my time attending sessions related to IoT, GDPR, Watson, and security. This is our focus with our IBM Domino-based iPhora platform. I attended all the Domino sessions of course. I am excited and energized by the renew focus on Domino with the IBM/HCL partnership and all the new capabilities that Domino has always had. It is the best application platform around. Regardless of what other vendors say, there is nothing like it. With the new capabilities coming with Domino v10 and beyond, my head in spinning with numerous product ideas some of which are coming out sooner than you Think. The User Community Day was great. It allowed me to not only see everyone in the ICS community, but also other non-ICS champions and users. I had a chance to talk to others that I would probably not have done

With the announcement of IBM Domino V10 and all of its new capabilities and power, we at Phora Group are excited about all the new possibilities that its has to offer for our iPhora family of products. At IBM Think, all the IBM Domino session have been packed.  On the show floor Think Tank session there was over 400 attendee just in one session. Even without all the new features of IBM Domino V10, we have one of the most powerful application platform on the market.  So here is a quick video of what we have created with IBM Domino for the past 5 years.  Secure collaboration sharing platform and business process management. So only your imagination limits you with what you can do with IBM Domino.

As members of the IBM Collaboration Solutions community, we tend to focus on the IBM solutions like Domino and Connections portfolios.  Many of us have been working and supporting Domino applications and mail, workflows, IBM Connections and etc. However, collaboration is more than just mail, chat, workflow, and sharing information.  Collaboration is everything that connects us.  This includes not only people but devices and processes.  Anything that touch us directly and indirectly. Originally, I was not planning to attend IBM Think this year, but as we have been moving forward with our iPhora technology during the past year it made sense since we are going beyond human collaboration. I will be attending numerous ICS sessions especially on Domino, but I will be also attending many sessions outside of what we as a community call collaboration including IoT, security, compliance and more.  If you have not registered, and would like to get a discount ping me.
