With just over a week until ICON UK, it will be a busy event for Intec. I (Paul Withers) will be delivering a session on graph databases called “Find your data – use GraphDB capabilities in XPages applications – and beyond“. I recently blogged on my personal blog site about why I am a big […]

IBM Domino has always been very active within Germany.
