<\/p>\n
IBM Verse is a successful bid to show that e-mail can be fun, engaging, and highly efficient. Over the past decade, IBM Lotus Notes became gradually more outdated in what the modern users expect from their email\u2019s user experience. So, Verse came to save the day.<\/span><\/p>\n IBM Verse wants to provide you an e-mail service that is self-organizing and that makes tasks easier to prioritize, with people rather than messages as the basic unit of communication. You can view the content that is shared between team members without downloading them, which can come in handy when you are not at your computer but still need to work. <\/span><\/p>\n IBM is also trying to lend a hand to its users by offering them access to Watson. This new search-and-classify functionality will \u201c[enable] users to query Watson on a given topic and receive a direct reply with answers ranked by degree of confidence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n One might argue that Verse tries to imitate Gmail, by attempting to categorize incoming e-mail using the e-mail\u2019s content and the user\u2019s behaviour with those emails. One strength that Verse takes pride in is its security, and IBM makes sure to stake the claim that it as better than Google\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n It is designed to replace the old-looking Notes, helping the user with a new self-organizing inbox. IBM Verse is based on the IBM\/Lotus Domino mail server system, as expected. It stands to reason that if you are a Lotus Notes user, and have not made the switch, you might at least consider it soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the fact that IBM Notes users are a major audience for Verse, IBM offers Verse to anyone who wants it, offering you a great service for your business. In the end, just as its predecessor, IBM Verse is much more than just e-mail, as we will detail next.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some of the most important things that Verse brings to the table.<\/span><\/p>\n You might not know today what you will need tomorrow. In that regard, IBM Verse comes as a stand-alone tool or as part of more feature-packed editions of the Connections Cloud. That way, you can adjust the tool to what you need, going up or, if needed, down, leaving some components out if you don\u2019t need them anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n You might not want to host your email in IBM\u2019s cloud, despite the security that IBM offers, but still want to enjoy Verse and all of its capabilities. You can go with IBM Verse On-Premises and host it on your own servers or with your favorite hosting provider<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Today, there is more need to accommodate the ability to work from anywhere, and from multiple devices than ever before. So, Verse adapted and you get the IBM Verse Mobile app to help you check your emails on any mobile device anywhere you need it. <\/span><\/p>\n Who says you have to be on your desktop computer to work? You can view emails, events and action updates, manage your to-do lists, and chat and keep track of the people you work with closely from your favorite tablet or a smartphone. <\/span><\/p>\n Verse mobile also comes with a widget that will keep you updated without you having to be in the app. You\u2019ll also be notified about upcoming meetings, e-mails received, so you don\u2019t miss out anything even when you are away from your desk. <\/span><\/p>\n You might expect that Verse simply comes to offer you yet another email client. But Verse aims to be much more than this. Even the email component is designed to automatically identify the people you work with on a daily basis and points them out to you. Because of its learning capabilities, it will change and update your most important people and things as they change. It really makes prioritizing the million things you have to do a lot easier.<\/span><\/p>\nSo, what can I do with IBM Verse?<\/h2>\n
