Social software isn’t just for college kids anymore. Connecting communities of business people – colleagues, customers, and business partners – has emerged as a key way to drive innovation, become more competitive, and work smarter. IBM and IBM customers are leading the charge to show how social software and collaboration can lead to more employee innovation, better document sharing, and closer customer relationships.
In this session, Jeff Schick (VP of Social Software at IBM) will describe how IBM customers are using social and team collaboration software to work smarter. Jeff will also share his perspective on the IBM view of the “Collaboration 2.0” future.
Jeff Schick has been with IBM since 1988, has held various roles in both development and the field, and is currently the Vice President for IBM’s initiatives for social software and has overall responsibility for development, marketing, sales and services. In January 2007, IBM announced Lotus Connections, the first integrated social software platform for business and one of IBM’s fastest growing products. These capabilities are being used at IBM today as well as governments and businesses around the world.
