Getting to know the portfolio, web 2.0 style

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately, in preparation for my new role. There’s plenty of stuff available at the external software website, and obviously at our internal site, but in the spirit of web 2.0 I’ve been doing some free search, to find out what going outside, with the customers and users.
IBM Lotus Sametime is IBM’s award winning instant messaging collaboration application, which allows for more than just chats.. you can web-conference, voice-conference (VoIP), share and much more – and there are over 15 million users worldwide.. not to mention the security it provides to the corporate business.
My free search also included YouTube (of course), and even there I found this excellent overview video, showcasing Sametime.

There’s also this video about IBM’s latest application in the collaboration era, called Lotus Connections. 5 services in 1 applications, which allows total collaboration for the enterprise.

New challenges ahead

It has been quite a week for me, over at work..
For the past 2 years now I have been leading the local IBM Forum team, which serves as the customer and technology center for IBM and its business partners.
Starting July 1st I’ll be responsible for Workplace, Portal and Lotus Collaboration (or WPLC) sales at IBM Software Group. Needless to say I’m very excited about this.

WPLC is not such a diverse field, with Lotus Domino and Notes, Workplace, Lotus Sametime and Websphere based Portal, but it’s highly innovative, and allows for excellent collaboration within the business. Not to mention that WPLC includes almost 50 different products that gives you a wide range of choice, when it comes to building your knowledge platform.

As you know it’s always good to take advantage of technology, so I did some searching using my Google Reader and Google Homepage to find some Notes bloggers. And I found a lot…
So, for my first (and un-official) post at WPLC, here are some bloggers you might want to read. I know I’d like to meet them as well…
Ed Brill, Mary Beth Raven, Alan Lepofsky, developerWorks’ Inside Lotus, Chris Pepin and Rob Novak. There are many many more – drop me a line if you read something you like..
