If Microsoft is pacing ahead can IBM lag behind? International Business Machines (IBM) has unveiled the all new Lotus Connection Suite, incorporating five special tools, Blogs, Activities Bookmarks and Communities. This category of business applications, named as “Enterprise 2.0″ ushers in more interactivity for its users.
This new venture of IBM might bring it in sharp competition with the Software giant Microsoft. This suite designed by IBM is an endeavor to elevate social networking to business level offering. This would allow the corporate employees to interact with each other in a congenial atmosphere.
IBM’s Lotus division has received positive reviews in its favour for this new Lotus connection. Now it would be a matter of patience to wait and see what would be the price of the Lotus Connection. Insiders are of the opinion that, if IMB prices its Lotus Connection Suite low, then Microsoft will probably face a great loss. IBM will be releasing its Lotus Connection Suite in the second quarter of 2007.
