Lotusphere

Social business? Déjà’ vu all over again

Social business? Déjà’ vu all over again

By Brian Sommer on January 31, 2013

IBM is transitioning. It’s got a $1 billion business with a software product called Lotus Notes but it is consciously trying to reposition it and other products around a social business mantra. To illustrate, one of the IBM communications executives pointed out to me that the “Lotusphere” part of the IBM Connect show logo is […]

You Won’t Have an iPhone moment Without a Brand

By James Governor on February 27, 2011

I got back from Lotusphere in an interesting frame of mind. On the one hand something kind of amazing is happening. I could tell the Web developer/designers I share an office with that IBM was going to create opportunities for them in its customers. That’s right – the banks, the retailers, the insurance companies, the […]

Lotusphere 2011: Social Business Here Comes IBM

Lotusphere 2011: Social Business Here Comes IBM

By Paul Greenberg on February 9, 2011

When I started out in the IT world, the first thing I ever did was to develop a Lotus Notes practice for a small company.  This was the early 90s, if I recollect correctly (I’m not being evasive, merely making believe I’m an old codger, by cracky). So I would go to Lotusphere – pre-IBM […]

IBM Lotusphere 2011: Social Business

IBM Lotusphere 2011: Social Business

By Michael Fauscette on February 3, 2011

I attended Lotusphere 2011 this week in Orlando and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by many of the conversations that I had with IBM execs about the focus of their social business initiative. I had seen the Lotus Connections product before, and was basically familiar with some of the other Lotus products […]

IBM Hefts Onset of Social Business

IBM Hefts Onset of Social Business

By Phil Wainewright on February 2, 2011

With its Notes pedigree, IBM’s Lotus family of products dates back to the very beginnings of enterprise collaboration software. Its presence in the collaboration market is still substantial, so it was probably only a matter of time before IBM started leavening its Lotus marketing with talk of social business, the happening new name for what […]

IBMs Social Business in a world of Grand Challenges

By Vinnie Mirchandani on February 2, 2011

I spent a little over a day at IBM”s Lotusphere event in Orlando this week and the most interesting session for me was a one-on-one with Doug Heintzman, Director of Lotus Strategy. He painted several “what if” scenarios. Imagine if Toyota had…

Pinch me. Social Business has arrived.

Pinch me. Social Business has arrived.

By Susan Scrupski on January 31, 2011

I am here on the ground at IBM’s gala Lotusphere annual event.  If I didn’t see it for my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it.  Social Business is all the rage and the main storyline IBM is taking to its customers going forward. IBM Executives are describing “social” as the next wave in enterprise computing: […]

Lotus Puts the Labs to Work: On Innovation

By James Governor on January 18, 2010

I am here at Lotusphere 2010 in Orlando, sitting in the press room. John Fontana from Network World just walked in and and asked me what I thought of the event so far. My reply:
“Well I am not saying Lotus has all its ducks in a row, but at least it has plenty of them […]
