The Social Connections team is very proud to announce they will assist IBM to host another #LetsConnect episode in the already successful series of events. The previous events have been a blast and the feedback to IBM on the future of the product has already been amazing. But we need more, we need more voices, more feedback, more direction and bright new ideas. And we need them from you!!

It has been a surprise for us that HCL is taking over Notes/Domino and most other collaboration products completely from IBM. The deal is not yet effective (hopefully beginning of June) and it should be "business as usual" until then. But we already see what we can expect from HCL taking over the complete portfolio including product strategy, sales and customer relationship.

Every trip I take there are moments of apprehension. I won’t call them fear; it’s not that strong a sentiment. I just say to myself “Well, I wonder how this will turn out.” And this trip had a few of them, the first of which happening at the Düsseldorf train station trying to get a ticket to my final destination in Gelsenkirchen.
