Another Canadian-based company that showcased its wares at Lotusphere and leveraged its technologies with Lotus’ suite of products was Genius Inside, a project management solutions company based in Montreal and Switzerland, that announced on Tuesday that its project solution will be available on Lotus Notes Domino as a SaaS-based application.
In keeping with Lotusphere’s collaboration agenda, Christophe Borlat, managing director of sales and marketing at Genius Inside, said that making the system more collaborative and accessible is a top priority for clients. “We are very horizontal, but one of our main industries is manufacturing and today, a lot of people in manufacturing do projects that can be in several plants or R&D departments all over the world, but they’re also involving sub-contractors and partners,” he explained. “With this tool, they are able to share information. For instance, as a manager, I can (schedule) people from different locations across different projects and I can be sure that I can split the workload across the different people.”
On the business side, Borlat said he was most buoyed to hear about IBM’s focus on cloud at Lotusphere. “More and more people are going to cloud computing and having this SaaS offer is (allowing them) to collect all those tools in the cloud,” he explained. “We can propose our SaaS tool and also propose to people: You can have your e-mail, your calendar, everything on the cloud and connect it with your tool.”
