Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The new Lotus Connections suite features five Web
2.0-based software components - activities, communities, bookmarking,
profiles and blogs. The suite aims to help business users to tap into
the enterprise knowledge base, performing tasks like finding subject
matter experts in profiles, create and join like-minded communities,
and exchange ideas and resources through blogging and shared bookmarks.
While consumers have taken to the social applications of Web 2.0 like
bees to a honeypot, business has been slow to adopt social networking
as a tool which can be applied to the workplace. However, according to
IBM and its partners, this is starting to change.
"Our customers are telling us that their users are already using
consumer social networking products outside of official corporate
portals," said Evan Herbst, managing director, Gemini Systems. "Now,
with Lotus Connections we can offer a business-ready solution that adds
new social software functionality to existing and new portals for
intranets, extranets and internet sites."
Lotus Connections is available for purchase at a list price of US$110
per user for the full suite and US$55 per user for the profiles or
activities component.
