Unveiling LotusLive Connections
At the Enterprise 2.0 conference this week, IBM gave conference goers a look at LotusLive Connections, a combination social networking and collaboration tool hosted as a cloud service.
IBM isn't new to social computing, they've been offering collaboration solutions since 1995, with Lotus Connections being the most recent. They also aren't the first to offer a SaaS-based solution. Socialtext and Socialcast are just two others.
LotusLive Connections offers a number of features including file sharing, activity management, instant messaging, and networking capabilities. You can read the details of each feature under the LotusLive Engage section of the LotusLive site.

Winning an Award
It must be an impressive solution. LotusLive Connections was voted The Enterprise 2.0 Cloud Computing Technology Buyers' Choice Award at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference beating out EMC, Google Apps and others. The award was voted by conference attendees.
LotusLive is directed at small to mid-sized businesses primarily, although it will work for any size company. There is also integration with other third party vendors such as Skype, LinkedIn and Salesforce.com.
Has IBM finally caught up to the crowd? And is it enough to grab market share away from other established social computing vendors?
LotusLive Connections is expected to be available at the end of the month.
