Introducing IBM Connections 6.0

The way you reach out to your consumers has changed considerably over the past few years to include online channels like social media, email lists, and customer portals. How you have told your brand story over these channels is indicative of your brand’s success as well. According to Gallup, two out of every three purchasing decisions made are due to emotional factors, which can include the amount of time they spend engaging with your message.

IBM understands these trends and has released IBM Connections 6.0, the latest edition of their social and content management platform designed to help customer-centric brands reach their audiences. The new Connections platform includes a variety of new updates including:
