Use in other IBM software
IBM is increasingly developing user software based on the OSGi framework, which is also used in the Lotus Expeditor. For example, Lotus Notes 8 and Lotus Sametime 7.5.x are based on this technology. Since both software products were developed on this basis, they can now be integrated into Lotus Notes 8. With this technology it is possible to use the Sametime awareness of a user in the Lotus Notes 8 client with the full functionality of Sametime 7.5.x.
