IBM Connect 2013 Orlando, Florida - Highlights
First thing to note about IBM Connect 2013 is that it is no longer called Lotusphere! Indeed, there was no sign of the word Lotus anywhere to be seen at the event. This is consistent with IBM's decision to rename the brand ICS (IBM Collaboration Solutions). Consequently, IBM Connect 2013 was all about IBM's Social Business Platform, which according to IBM, helps create exceptional web experiences, build a smarter workforce and is designed for adoption. Attendance at IBM Connect was apparently up 10% over 2012 and business leader attendance almost doubled to over 2,000 organisations. Certainly, the word the on ground was that vendors in the showcase had seen a better quality of lead generated at the event this year over recent years.

Key announcements:
Messaging - Notes/Domino
IBM Notes and Domino 9 Social Edition is available in beta now (January 2013) and was ultimately released in March this year. Click here for more info

Key additions in this version are:

Mobility - Connections, Traveler & Sametime
In December IBM released a new version of its Connections Mobile app which allows you to do everything you can do from the Connections web interface plus interact with Traveler and Sametime Mobile. Connections 4.5 Mobile will be released in March 2013 and will support File Sync, a Drop Box-like capability that will allow you to keep all your files in sync across all of your devices. Future versions of Connections Mobile will also allow you to preview files before downloading and allow you to edit files with IBM Docs.

IBM Notes Traveler now supports high availability and failover and the new Traveler client has added To Do functionality. The Traveler app for IBM Notes 9, to be released in March, will support Windows 8 Phone, Windows RT Surface Tablets and Blackberry 10 in addition to the iOS and Android devices it supports today. Traveler will work with IBM Docs to allow users to view files in a secure way.

IBM Sametime Mobile includes a rich Chat and Meetings app integrated with the device so that incoming messages go into the notification center and pictures and video can be easily shared. The next release of Sametime Mobile will add voice and video on iOS and Android devices including telephony support.

Blackberry (RIM) announced the latest version their mobile operating system and Blackberry Enterprise Server 10 (BES 10). BES 10 can now also manage Apple iOS and Google Android. IBM Traveler will add support for BB 10 devices in March 2013.

Social Collaboration Software - Connections
The next version of IBM Connections version 4.5 which will ship in March. Connections 4.5 will provide:
 Social analytics capabilities for analysing data from both inside and outside the organisation, including Facebook and Twitter as well as information from audio and video feeds.
 Deeper integration with Microsoft Outlook enabling people to access their profiles, files and communities directly from the Microsoft Office email application.
 Content Management. ECM will be a native service to Connections in 4.5. This allows documents and their processes to be integrated into the social collaboration flow.
 Revised style sheets for making Connections look like a corporate brand and the ability to customise the look and feel of Profiles.
 File Sync (see mobile update above).

Connections Mail which allows people to monitor and act on incoming email and calendar entries from within the Connections interface is available for both Notes/Domino and iNotes.

Overall, we believe this will be seen as a successful conference by IBM and many of the vendors who had paid to be at the Showcase. Specifically, we suspect that IBM will be relieved that the name change from Lotusphere did not have an adverse effect on attendance or enthusiasm.
