SUMMARY

Microsoft Connection Agent provides coexistence and interoperability solutions for existing and emerging groupware platforms and information sources, which include Lotus Notes and Exchange Server. The Connection Agent for Notes and Exchange Server synchronizes information between databases and folders, which enables workgroups to collaborate and distribute information across both systems. If changes are made in a Notes database (such as new message submissions, edits to existing messages, responses to messages, or deletions of messages) these changes are also made in the corresponding Exchange Server folder.

This information exchange enables wider collaboration in a cost-effective and scalable delivery system. The Connection Agent keeps the information synchronized between the two systems and maintains the related topics and responses in the proper context.
