IBM Connections Suite

IBM released today the IBM Connection Suite that combines the features and functions of:

  • IBM Connections
  • IBM Sametime Advanced
  • IBM Sametime SUT Lite
  • Lotus Quickr
  • FileNet

There are some nice videos on the capabilities which really start to see some of the Project Northstar coming to fruition.

Now, there is nothing that you couldn’t do before but the vision here is clearly defined and you will likely see some pricing that will enable the enterprise to get this done faster and cheaper.  The only downside of this is the fact that there isn’t one deployment manager to make the package install easier.  They all sit on different WAS versions, data store versions vary by all the applications so from an install and administration standpoint it will be a heavy lifting process but those who have the vision, this is a great way to cohesively achieve a vision and fast ROI.
