SharePoint & Lotus

Some months back, I posted our plans to add enterprise social features to the software delivery process. Today, I am showing you a screencast of our progress on integrating IBM Lotus Connections with IBM Rational Jazz.

The video below shows you how Jazz users have direct access to forums, wikis, blogs, file sharing, and bookmark sharing, from within the Rational Team Concert web interface.

The other day, I came across ZDNet’s in-depth coverage of Gartner’s Fall Symposium, in which Larry Dignan shared the insights and pearls of wisdom that Gartner advised CIOs attending the conference. At that time, Gartner reported that CIOs are cleaning house, eliminating projects that don’t deliver immediate value, and investing strategically in technologies like Collaboration and Social Networking that transform the way business gets done, reduce cost structures, and can possibly be implemented inexpensively.
