Bridging the SharePoint-IBM divide

Word is just out that Mainsoft, which offers software to bridge the .NET and Java worlds, will be at the IBM Rational Software Conference next week previewing a solution that integrates SharePoint’s social networking capabilities with IBM Rational Team Concert. It’s called Document Collaboration for Rational Jazz, and according to the company, it connects Team Concert with collaboration environments based on either IBM Lotus Quickr or SharePoint. The software will enable users to incorporate their SharePoint personal profiles into Jazz user profiles, making developer information such as skill levels, memberships in networks and user groups, and interests available by hovering over the name. It also will enable SharePoint people search, team wikis and blogs to work from inside the Eclipse IDE’s search menu. Mainsoft will be previewing the software at their booth, Pedestal B in the Ready for Rational Pavillion. Also, on June 3 at 10 AM, IBM’s Bernie Coyne, marketing manager for Rational Team Concert, and Yaacov Cohen, CEO of Mainsoft, will present a session entitled “Driving Business Value Using IBM Rational Team Concert with Microsoft SharePoint and Lotus Quickr.”
