Tue, Feb 7th 2012 1:12p Luis Benitez Earlier this week IBM released a new short whitepaper on the behaviors required in a social business.

Thu, Feb 2nd 2012 5:44a Luis Benitez One of the things that was very exciting about Lotusphere 2012 #ls12 is how the ecosystem for both IBM Connections and Lotus Quickr is growing. One of the business partners that introduced a solution is Lialis. They introduced a WebDAV add-on for IBM Connections.
So what is WebDAV? Let's not get into the technical details. Let's focus instead on what it enables. As per Lialis:

Lotusphere 2012: Thursday Recap
Thu, Jan 26th 2012 10:12a Luis Benitez And now we get to the last day of Lotusphere 2012 #ls12.

Usually, I would head out to the airport Thursday at noon so I had never seen a Closing General Session or participated in a Blogger Open before. Like Sharon said, I'm surprised with the number of people who leave Wednesday night or super early on Thursday.
Thursday started like any other day with customer b [read] Keywords: collaboration

Mon, Jan 23rd 2012 7:13a Luis Benitez Last Monday was the 2nd day of the Lotusphere 2012 #ls12 and was the day that the Opening General Session took place. I was part of the demo team so for me this was the day that Lotusphere actually started as up until then we were backstage getting ready for the big keynote.
As you probably know, the keynote was live streamed. The main speaker was Michael J. Fox and the opening band was Ok Go which made Lotusphere trend in Twitter. Michael J. Fox did a tremendous job on stage and was very funny. [read] Keywords: connections
