Bill Buchan’s Summary
I've been focused on Lotus Notes and Domino for 14 years - and am an industry-recognised expert. For instance, I've talked at DNUG, iLug, UKLug, Lotusphere, The View conferences, EntwickerCamp and AdminCamp, as well as various Lotusphere comes to you events.
I'm part of the team that developed and sell the Federated Identity & Resource Manager for Domino - a groundbreaking tool which dramatically reduces Lotus Domino, BlackBerry handset and Microsoft Active Directory administration.
We help automate, integrate and deletegate user and group administration for Lotus Domino, Active Directory and BlackBerry. Think of it as a better, faster, cheaper, easier version of TIM/TAM.
