IBM Lotus Notes gets new add-on from Synaptris

IBM Lotus Notes will soon have a new add-on, “FewClix” from its independent service vendor (ISV), Synaptris. Synaptris has launched a free downloadable public beta of the application which is available on www.fewclix.com for Lotus Notes email users which claims to change the corporate email paradigm with prioritization, precise search, personalization and social network discovery.

The application has been enriched with features like quickly prioritization of email and instant search of any email.

Synaptris has worked with Fortune 1000 enterprises that use Lotus Notes, delivering an enterprise-ready Beta product which has been a natural extension of its current core competence for Synaptris.

Madan S. Kumar, CEO of Synaptris said, “With FewClix, for the first time, corporate email users have a way to easily address the email deluge, significantly enhance their overall email productivity and bring sanity back to their mailbox.”

“Synaptris’ continued focus is on enhancing its leadership position in innovation focused on end users, specifically in the area of making complex information management functionality in the enterprise easy to use and more productive for end-users,” added Kumar.

Synaptris conducted a private beta program of this application over the last 18 months to get the right feedback before the launch.

“As participants of the FewClix Private Beta Program, we are impressed with the value that FewClix adds to the email experience, particularly in the areas of email prioritization, search and email organization,” said Manish Choksi, Chief, Corporate Strategy & CIO, Asian Paints, one of the organizations that tested the private beta.

FewClix will extend support for additional platforms including Microsoft Outlook post the general availability launch of the current offering for Lotus Notes.

The product is expected to hit the market in 60 days which will work on Lotus Notes version 6.0 onwards.

Nagaraj L Bhargava, Chief Operating Officer, Synaptris, said, “We are going little conservative here. We want to get the feedback from wide number of Lotus users through this public beta. On pricing, nothing has been finalized yet but we will soon determine the pricing as well.”
