IBM Steps in Line with the Others
IBM has been in the collaboration business since 1995, but has just now taken that capability to the online SaaS world. It took them a little while to finally do it, but IBM has stepped in line with other similar providers like Zoho, Microsoft, Salesforce.com and a number of social community providers (think Jive, Atlassian, Awareness, etc..).
The collaboration features of LotusLive are still in Beta, but others are available to either try, demo or sign up for immediately.
This new set of cloud-services may be just what IBM needs to stay competitive and keep the smaller solution providers away from their customers.
