IBM Software Forum – Summary

Updated March 11.

The event this afternoon just ended, I’ll upload some pics next week, once I get them from our marketing pips. We had over 500 customers and business partners attending, in the six sessions, covering everything IBM Software has to offer. My presentation from today’s event is below, and also available on slideshare, but I wasn’t the main attraction of the evening.

Amir Belferman’s lecture (Amidar Housing) was excellent and provided everything the audience needed to know, including cost analysis of the various options they considered. Amir’s presentation is available online, at my slideshare space or at ibm.com event page.

Niv Calderon caused some riots in the crowd, showing where the money is in social media, and why local businesses need to start taking it (more) seriously. You can watch Niv’s lecture online here.

IBM Software Forum is tomorrow – Lotus agenda

With over 600 people at the guest list, 70+ for Lotus Software only, it’s gonna be hard forgetting IBM Software Forum – but, just in case, it’s TOMORROW (Thu), at Cinema City.
The event will start at 15:00, with some social networking and refreshments, and at 15:45 we’ll break into the six sessions. The Lotus session will include three speakers – myself, Niv Calderon and Amir Belferman from Amidar Housing. Here’s what’s planned for Lotus:

See you all tomorrow 🙂

Amidar Housing picked IBM WebSphere Portal

Amidar Housing, the government agency responsible for housing in Israel, has just launched its redesigned website, developed over IBM WebSphere Portal Express software. Excellent gift for the holidays!
During the 2nd stage of the project, Amidar – along with Web-Tech Innovation, IBM BP specializing in portal and KM solutions – will launch a new intranet website, that would connect Amidar’s 500 employees spread at 50 locations across the country.

Amidar picked IBM in July 2008, with a definite roadmap to launch the redesigned site by the end of the year. The solution, WebSphere Portal Express V6.0 (packaged for small-medium businesses), along with WebSphere Dashboard Framework, provides the perfect platform for Adimar, and cost-effective one, to develop and deploy 2 portals over a single infrastructure – exploiting the solution’s capability of ‘Virtual Portal’.


Amidar also took advantage of some innovative web 2.0 technologies embeded in the solution, by deploying the map you see above, of the various locations across Israel. The launch of the redesigned site, as well as the internal portal (to be launched soon), are part of Amidar’s 2009 approach of focusing on the customer’s needs.

Yaacov Brosh, Amidar CEO:

Access to public housing and learning the rights every citizen entitles to, demand first of all – access to information. The redesigned website provides just that.

Amir Belferman, Amidar CIO:

Building over WebSphere Portal technology enabled us flexibility in content management, easy setup of the different pages/categories and operational efficiency, under a very short time frame. We plan to maximize the platform in the future, by enhancing the services and information we provide to our customers online.
