"We believe our open, integrated platform will dramatically simplify and improve the way businesses interact with their partners and customers. With this offering we're taking Lotus to more people, in more places, than ever before."

Big names joining with IBM in announcing plans to integrate existing their services with LotusLive include LinkedIn (professional networking), Salesforce.com (CRM) and Skype (voice and video calling).
