For several years I was working as a Technical Solution Architect. My main tasks in the past were the design of Groupware/Messaging solutions based on Lotus Notes/Domino and planning and implementation of Groupware migration and transition projects. From August 2007 to July 2019 I have been working for IBM Software Services for Collaboration with the main focus on “Social Software” and “Web 2.0” especially the products Lotus Quickr and HCL Connections. Since the release 8.5 (end of 2009) I have also been working with the product HCL Sametime.
