More and more companies are turning to enterprise-class social software tools that provide the security and quality that enterprises need.
The real bang for the buck will come from integrating IBM’s social software capabilities with its unified communications and collaboration offerings, notably Sametime. IBM provides much of this integration today. Sametime integration with Quickr helps people share the latest document in their real-time collaboration and reach out to document authors, with real time access to team members.
