IBM Think 2019 – Day 4 recap…

Today began – beside heavy rain – with tremendous announcements of HCL in person of Richard Jefts, Barry Rosen and Chris Davis in their session

“The Beat goes on – and it goes to 11”.

A great and updated roadmap for Domino V10+ has been presented:

A lot ( I’m sure there will be more ) of the new features coming soon and what we can expect in V11 have been presented. As far I understood “Coming soon” is Q1/2019 and we’ll get the following in the next weeks:

  • Re-Release of the missing Group1 languages ( german )
  • Group 1 support for the Notes Basic and the ICAA client
  • Fixes for the regressions in Xpages V10
  • Domino App Dev Pack for Windows
  • A preview of the browser-based “Verse on mobile” app
  • Verse on Premises 1.0.7

We’ll also get Sametime V10 in the first half of 2019. For Sametime Limited Use ( license bundled in your Notes license ) we’ll get the following new and great features:

  • Sametime Chat everywhere ( persistent chat across multiple devices )
  • Simplified deployment of Sametime using Docker containers
  • Chat client will be compatible with the current version 9.0.1 FP1

There have been additional announcements and I can’t remember to hear this lot of news during a 50 minute session !!

So what else can be expected in Notes/Domino V11 ? Just take a look at the following images:

Further informations regarding V11 can be seen and heard during the webcast on March 14th where you can register here: https://bit.ly/2TGIXDM

Another great news has been the announcement that you can use MarvelClient Update to upgrade any existing IBM Notes Client to V10.0.1 for free !! Thanks to panagenda for giving anyone the possibility.

So in a sum-up great features will be delivered in V11 and HCL will also increase marketing activity for pushing Domino V10+ stronger to the market via the new HCL partners.
