Plans to introduce analytical and data transfer tools aimed at encouraging users to move from IBM's Lotus Notes e-mail software have been unveiled by software company Microsoft.
Microsoft said it will attempt to lure Lotus Notes users to its own system to work on projects via the web and will offer a tool which will enable potential customers to identify and organise the most-used shared software. It plans to offer three new application templates, similar to popular Lotus applications, in addition to the existing 30 in its Windows SharePoint Services.

Microsoft and IBM are competing for leadership of the corporate messaging market, which is reportedly worth USD2.8bn and incorporates collaboration tools such as web publishing, e-mail and project management systems. IBM is currently investing in IBM Workplace, a new set of web-based collaboration tools, in an attempt to attract corporate users back following moves to Microsoft.
Radicati Group has predicted that Microsoft Exchange users will increase to 200m users by 2009, accounting for 37% of the corporate market. Users of IBM's total market share is expected to amount to about 20%, to include 68m (13%) Domino/Notes users and 35m (6.5%) users of the new Workplace software.
