Alloy by IBM and SAP

Bring people, process and information together


Alloy™ software - formerly known as "Project Atlantic" - is the first product that is jointly developed, supported and marketed by SAP and IBM. Alloy enables seamless access to SAP applications and information through IBM Lotus Notes, revolutionizing how business users interact with people, processes and information.

With AlloyTM software, business users can easily access SAP® business processes and information within their familiar IBM Lotus environment, both online and offline. Since business users remain in their familiar Notes environment, there is no training required, which helps speed adoption. As a result, organizations can make business user more productive, improve decision making, and increase compliance with corporate policies.

One way of adding more generic to the Alloy forms is described in Volker's blog, explaining what you need to do on the SAP side. Please see Dirk Lehmann's blog for handling the Notes/Domino side.
