SharePoint & Lotus

 I have met several IT executives leading Notes shops telling me that they have selected Lotus Connections as their social software platform and Microsoft SharePoint for document collaboration. Their motivation is quite straightforward: as Office users, SharePoint is a natural Office server for document collaboration however they prefer Lotus Connections over SharePoint 2010 for its social features  e.g. Activities, bookmarks sharing. But is this a sound, long-term strategy? 

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.
