Raven, now known as the Discovery Server, is the back-end content cataloguing software that will work with the front-end K-Station portal which shipped late last year.

"The deployment pattern initially will be our key Notes and Domino customers who have lots of databases, and want to be able to bring some kind of central content catalogue to that," said Tony Cocks, marketing manager at Lotus UK.

Early Discovery Server adopters include consultant Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Philips International and law firm Shearman and Sterling.

Other product announcements centred on the Domino Everyplace servers which provide access to email and collaboration tools from mobile devices.
