BASF: Our roadmap to a global Sametime 8.5.2 deployment. BASF is the world's leading chemical company, with about 105,000 employees and close to 385 production sites worldwide. Until today BASF works with a heterogenous Sametime environment with different Sametime versions brought together in one community. The goal of this roadmap is to come to a homogenous Instant messaging and meeting environment with Sametime 8.5.2 as basis. This presentation will focus on why on how BASF an IBM together designed a roadmap to come from this heterogenous environment to a homogenous global environment. It will be shown how we came to the architectural design and an implementation plan by first analysing the functional and non functional requirements.
