Can anyone translate IBMish into English, please

Last month, IBM announced (IBM - United States) that it is withdrawing IBM Workplace Messaging V2.6.0 from the market and offering a Domino product in its place. But …

I can’t find any reference to a product by that name. All searches with the product code bring me to IBM Workplace Collaborative Services v2.6. Before I make a fool of myself and say “I told you so” to a buyer who ignored my recommendation to buy Sametime and went instead for WCS - is this what IBM is withdrawing? Is it the messaging component of WCS, or a different thing altogether???

I would love to go back to them and get them to come into the Domino world, but I simply don’t understand the language IBM is using.

Anyone got a better idea than me - please help.

It looks like you get a Domino Web Access client for every user on Workplace and a Domino Messaging Server for the Workplace Messaging Server.

Does that help?

Thanks for the post - that much I could understand. What I still don’t get is … what exactly are they withdrawing from the market. There’s no such product as Workplace Messaging. There is a messaging component of Workplace Collaborative Services, but I’m too dense to figure out what they are saying.

Help !!
