I was recently directed to this video which talks about the Lotus Strategy and its mobility capabilities. Mobile access to your applications is key, especially for social software. I, for one, use Twitter, Facebook, and Lotus Connections Dogear because I have free native applications that run on my BlackBerry. When I'm at a customer site and I'm stumped with a question, I turn to my trusty Dogear to find the answer. When I'm travelling to/from said customer, I like to see what's going on in my personal social network by turning to Facebook. Then, I like to see what's going on in my semi-personal/semi-professional network at Twitter.
By the way, my constant access to Twitter means I can be more responsive to my customers and business partners. And recently a light bulb went off in my head: IBM gets more value from me using Twitter, than I personally do. I think I need to expand on that in a future blog post.
Anyway, here's a quick video showing the different Lotus products in a mobile world. I like Kristen:
Feel free to share it!
Hi Luis,
ReplyDeleteIn respect of your status about lotus connections knowledge.
But to be honest. The Mobility Solutions for connactions at the meoment are really thin !!! Ofcourse you could access everything via the normal webbrowser on the iPhone for instance but the gui is not really iPhone friendly so as a real life user I would never use that. Ofcourse there are some Blackberry integrations with connections but that is the only true mobilty integration what is available at the moment.
I hope more will be releassed/announced at LS09 !!
Hi Sjaak,
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting!! You'll notice that the video is more about the Lotus mobility strategy. For a while now, 2009 has been the year where we expand the mobility options for Lotus Connections.
I would like to get your feedback though, to make sure that we are on the right track. Which mobile devices would you like to see supported ? iPhone? Nokia? PocketPC? Palm ?
Hope to hear from you soon!!
