So what IS new in Notes 8 that the user REALLY cares about?

Chris Mobley  |    |  Tags:  notes 8.0.1 what's_new lotus  |  Comments (2)
So now that 8.0.1 is out I can start planning my rollout.  The first step was to deploy it to my boss and a few IT colleagues.  Their first questions were "so what's new?"  I realized I was going to need to communicate to my users what IS new with this version over Notes 7, but with limited training time I needed to hit the highlights that mattered most to them.  So I started looking into the "What's New" docs in the readme and on the IBM sites.  I quickly discovered that a lot of these materials are a lot of fluff and stuff that my users really don't care about.  What I need is a nice, short list of the most important features that the users will really care about.

So what do you think are the most useful features that the user will REALLY care about, or REALLY like?  A few that come to mind are message recall,  new attachment handling,  quota guage, and integrated Sametime buddy list in the sidebar.

1 James T Kork      Permalink Start it with widgets. Live Text is a very exiting feature

2 Chris Whisonant      Permalink Well, over 7, I would also point out all the nice UI enhancements. The java views in the mail application are nice as well as the new address book (and end users will like the business cards view).

Users will like the out of office service as well - to be able to set it for less than a day and also to be able to have it send the notifications immediately.

The widgets are a great addition in 8.0.1 as well.
