ID223 - IBM Connections Platform Integration
by Luis Benitez and mikroche
To become a successful social business, it’s imperative that you socialize existing business processes and not build yet another destination site for your end users. In this session, we talk about how other applications and business processes are building on IBM Connections. For example, we show how IBM Connections can socialize CRM systems and business process workflows. We also cover how IBM Connections is enabling such solutions with examples of how IBM Rational Jazz, and IBM Cognos Business Intelligence are integrating social features from IBM Connections and how IBM Cognos Consumer Insight and IBM Omnifind are leveraging IBM Connections APIs and data to deliver insight and to make data available to other business processes and applications.

@ Lotusphere Innovation Lab: "Deriving Social Insight from Legacy Business Applications"
A business application doesn’t need to be "officially" social to contribute social insights. Companies have always been social and the only difference is that we now have software that supports and simplifies the process of communicating and collaborating, and explicitly codifies the information derived from those interactions. If we look at the definition of social analytics “the process of measuring, analyzing and interpreting the results of interactions and associations among people, concepts, and facts” and apply this more broadly to the business, then a couple of things happen. Firstly we start to be able to harvest actionable social insights from existing enterprise applications, secondly we create a bridge that allows us to marry legacy business solutions with the new generation of social business platform, and thirdly we significantly increase the ROI we can realize from our social investment.
In this demonstration we will examine how we can we apply social analytics to a legacy business application which is not a “social application” per sei. We will demonstrate how these applications hide a rich set of social and semantic links within their underlying schemas, relationships that may be well hidden and distributed across a myriad of tables and cells, but they are there nonetheless and can be represented as a socio-semantic graph on which social analytics can be easily applied. We will then concretely show how this approach can be applied to support the sales process through providing recommendations for how to most effectively close a sales opportunity - from finding experts to identifying similar opportunities and assets that will maximize for success.

by Marie Scott
Cloud computing and cloud collaboration systems. You’ve heard all about them. Is the cloud still the way to go? How do you prepare for a cloud move and is it the best option for your environment? And how can you mitigate the potential “whirlwind” of change this may cause in your company? In this session, Marie will discuss all aspects of planning for the cloud including directories, authentication, migration, staffing, e-discovery, archiving, mobile support, and hybrid clouds. She’ll share some real life experience and describe how you can manage a cloud migration like you would any other email migration project while minimizing the impact to your company. Marie will also describe the advantages of setting up a pilot program and how to evaluate products like IBM LotusLive. Afterwards you will have your own checklist for weathering the change to this new and exciting environment.
