Instant Agent Framework

Bots - No Programming Easy to Build

Add immediate value to your existing Sametime and LCS/OCS instant messaging infrastructure through Instant Agent Framework (IAF). IAF allows an administrator to quickly create and deploy bots that can query a company's ADO data sources upon request - making valuable information readily available to all employees.

Example bots:

• Corporate Telephone Book
• Zip Code Look-up
• Area Code Look-up
• Domino Designer Help

Instant Agent Framework is the fastest way to develop bots that query ADO databases. The application environment is fast, flexible, and designed to add immediate value to your instant messaging platform.

Instant Agent Framework is also available for LDAP, SQL, Oracle9i, IBM DB2 databases, and other ADO-compliant databases.
