I heard IBM say it, but I did not wholly believe it. SameTime is not only for shops that run Lotus Notes. It is targeted at everyone else, too.
Today I had actually participated in a conversation with a company that is looking to deploy SameTime on top of Outlook, Exchange and Active Directory. What drew them to SameTime was all the great things that this product offers: security, integration with 3rd party IMs, archiving, LDAP integration, clustering, etc.
I am now a true believer — Lotus SameTime is not just for Lotus Notes.

Alex,
That’s true – you don’t have to be IBM/Lotus shop to enjoy Lotus collaboration solutions, such as Lotus Sametime.
Lotus solutions are flexible and enables a business to leverage its current infrastructure investments, while enjoying the advanced features of Lotus solutions.
