OSG Shipholding, the second largest publicly traded shipping tanker company in the world contacted Applicable to
implement a Sametime Federated Gateway at their New York offices. The gateway has allowed OSG to collaborate with customers and partners with integrated access between Lotus Sametime and AOL's AIM, Google Talk and Yahoo!

Applicable have also completed an identical project for London based British Medical Association.
This contract also includes ongoing support for Sametime and Domino as well as the upgrade of Lotus Domino to 8.5.

The Gateway in less than less than 100 words........

The Gateway acts as an intermediary among Lotus Sametime and each public IM community
by receiving instant messages, translating them into the proper protocol, and delivering them to recipients regardless of platform. IT administrators can take advantage of the policy management feature in the Lotus Sametime Gateway to provide customised access based on a user's business need.

Lotus Sametime users are able to add their AIM, Google Talk and Yahoo! Messenger contacts directly to their Lotus Sametime client. The ability to seamlessly communicate regardless of instant messaging platform eliminates the barriers
that make the real-time exchange of information between an organisation and outside contacts so challenging.
