Hispano-Suiza Canada Improves Collaboration With IBM Softwar

TORONTO - 29 Aug 2006: Canadian aerospace parts maker Hispano-Suiza Canada has employed software and services from IBM (NYSE: IBM) to improve communication and collaboration.

Prior to the installation, Hispano-Suiza Canada had difficulty working electronically with its France-based parent company. Messages between the two companies could arrive corrupted and they were unable to access each other´s calendars. IBM Software Services for Lotus developed an installation and migration plan, implemented Lotus Notes and Domino on Linux, and provided training and support services.

˝Before installing Lotus, collaborating with our head office could be challenging,˝ said Adam Woodhouse, MIS Applications Specialist, Hispano-Suiza Canada. ˝Sharing technical information on joint projects was difficult and because the calendaring systems weren´t compatible, it was easy to miss meetings. Since we started using Lotus Notes it´s been smooth sailing and we´re working much more effectively together.˝

Working with SilverBlaze, an IBM Business Partner, IBM´s services team installed and configured Lotus Domino Server V7.0.1, running on SUSE Linux V9, and migrated 150 Hispano-Suiza users to IBM Lotus Notes.

The new Lotus Domino platform can also provide additional value to Hispano-Suiza Canada, as the company can build custom communication and collaboration applications on the platform.
