and will interoperate with the one from Yahoo in a matter of weeks.
IBM plans to make the announcement on Wednesday

almost a year after:-)

the newest version of the enterprise IM system.
The gaping hole in the announcement is Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger

which

with AOL's AIM and Yahoo Messenger

is one the world's three largest consumer IM networks.
Microsoft sells an enterprise IM system called Live Communications Server (LCS) that competes directly with Sametime. LCS interoperates with AIM

Yahoo Messenger

and Windows Live Messenger.
Akiba Saeedi

program director for Real Time Collaboration products at IBM's Lotus division

declined to comment on why Windows Live Messenger is missing from the Sametime interoperability picture.
The Sametime interoperability comes via a separate gateway server to which connectors for each IM network can be added at no extra cost beyond the price of the Sametime license

Saeedi said.
The gateway server provides a variety of management capabilities for IT departments to establish user policies and access rights and in general have control over the IM communications employees engage in with people on the Yahoo

AOL

and Google networks.
Initially

the interoperability will be limited to exchanging text messages

but IBM wants to expand and deepen it to include other types of communications that have become common in IM services

like voice and video chats

file sharing and Web conferencing.
Instant messaging has in recent years become an essential tool in the workplace

so opening Sametime up to these external IM networks will allow its users to communicate with clients and partners who use AIM

Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk for business

Saeedi said.
