IBM has announced the re-branding of its Lotus division's existing and future cloud services as LotusLive.

Best known for its Lotus Notes collaboration software, IBM Notes has been moving into cloud services under the Bluehouse label, but that's changing.

The cloud services falling under the new LotusLive banner are:

Engage - a suite of tools for online meetings, including file sharing, instant messaging and charting;

Connections - like Engage, Connections provides a range of collaboration tools but without conferencing or application sharing;

Meetings - the full-featured online meeting service previously known as Lotus Sametime Unyte Meeting;

Events - online event management, including registration, hosting and analysis (previously known as Lotus Sametime Unyte Events);

But wait! There's more! So please read on.
