WOBURN, MA – January 12, 2009– Axceler, the global leader in administration software for collaborative platforms, today announced a strategic partnership with BA-Insight, the global leader in Microsoft based information access technology. BA-Insight helps organizations access information across platforms, and Axceler brings extensive experience in the IBM Lotus Notes market. Together, they enable firms to extend the search capabilities of SharePoint Server and Microsoft Search Server to IBM Lotus Notes. The first product of this partnership, the Lotus Notes Search Connector, co-developed by both firms, will be unveiled for the first time at Axceler’s pedestals 327-329 during Lotusphere 2009, January 18-22 in Orlando, FL.

“With the Lotus Notes Search Connector release, Axceler further expands into the SharePoint marketplace,” said Axceler President Michael Alden. “Our goal is to provide SharePoint users with comprehensive visibility and insight into their Notes content.  By partnering with BA-Insight, we give our customers the ability to leverage the growth of SharePoint while still maintaining content stored within Notes.”

The Lotus Notes Search Connector automatically maps Notes security to Active Directory in a highly scalable way, resolving one of the major challenges with connecting SharePoint to Notes.

“Partnering with Axceler was a key element of our success in developing this technology. Axceler has many years in the IBM Notes market and has a large installed base,” explained Guy Mounier, BA-Insight’s CEO. “Combined with BA-Insight’s experience in delivering Microsoft based search solutions, the Lotus Notes Search Connector fills a huge gap in the market to integrate access to information across both platforms.”
