Practice Overview


IBM Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr™ software give you an integrated suite of enter­prise social computing solutions.  This allows you to connect to expertise, build communities both inside and outside of your organization, store content in a centralized location and use online project management tools and team spaces to meet and collaborate. It helps you tap the social capital in your organization so you can make fast, accurate business decisions. You can reach out to prac­tically anyone at any time, and set up an online hub where you can meet and coordinate activi­ties for enhanced efficiency.  With Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr you can conserve disk space by central­izing document access and information availability and help reduce the number of e-mail attachments overall.

IBM Lotus Sametime® software lets you reach out to the people you need—using instant messaging integrated with voice, video and data—so you can get immediate answers and exchange ideas in a natural, conversational setting.  Sametime combines instant messaging and presence awareness to give users the ability to communicate in realtime whenever and wherever they choose.  It helps people use instant messaging and Web conferencing tools to find and act on opportunities faster by connecting them in a security-rich manner with colleagues regardless of location. You can shrink your travel costs—even eliminate them—by enabling you to meet and chat in realtime instead of getting on a plane.

IBM Lotus Notes® and Domino® software gives you access to people and daily activi­ties from both inside and outside the office, in addition to instant social networking capabilities and realtime communications—all from a single desktop. It consolidates professional and public calen­dars, and business and personal contacts, into one intuitive, security-rich user interface.  Notes and Domino pro­vide a rich, integrated e-mail and calendaring that enables employees to work from home which helps reduce commuting time, energy consumption and real-estate costs. Lotus Domino server software uses data compression to support more data and users on fewer servers which helps to reduce space, hardware and energy consumption.
The IBM Lotus Notes and Domino soft­ware family helps integrate all of these software capabilities into a unified desktop experience that can be accessed from anywhere, via desktop, laptop or a variety of mobile devices.
