Lotus Sametime from IBM supports immediate communication with people across the hall or around the world -- either through secure text messaging, audio and video, or full collaborative meetings.

The Sametime family includes the Sametime server, the Sametime Connect client, and a range of Application Developer Tools. The Sametime Server was designed to be T-120 compliant and works with Microsoft NetMeeting. The Sametime Server also works seamlessly with any browser or with Lotus Notes, and has audio and video capabilities to enhance your online experience.

In 2000, Sametime became compliant with Session Initiation Protocol, offering compatibility with external, SIMPLE-based sevices -- of which there are few.

Through a deal with America Online, Sametime also offers users access to the AOL Instnat Messenger network -- although usernames, buddy lists and accounts are not shared. Instead, a user must log into AIM separately, through Sametime.
