IBM SmartCloud for Social Business, previously known as LotusLive, was a collection of cloud-hosted business collaboration and networking services provided by IBM Collaboration Solutions. This platform combined features such as social networking, virtual meetings, file sharing, instant messaging, data visualization, and email functionality.
History
The offerings within the suite comprised:
- IBM SmartCloud Connections: a set of collaboration tools including user profiles, contact management, business networking capabilities, instant messaging, file sharing, task tracking, "Communities," and survey features.
- IBM SmartCloud Meetings: a web-based service for conducting online meetings, which was formerly called Lotus Sametime Unyte Meeting.
- IBM SmartCloud Engage Standard: an integrated service merging the functionalities of LotusLive Connections and Meetings; internally referred to as "Bluehouse," and introduced at Lotusphere in January 2008.
- IBM SmartCloud Notes: an email solution featuring calendar, contact management, and instant messaging accessible via both web interfaces and the Lotus Notes client.
- IBM SmartCloud iNotes: a web-based email and calendar platform developed using messaging technologies acquired from Outblaze.
The IBM SmartCloud platform enabled integration with external applications such as Skype, LinkedIn, Salesforce, UPS, and Silanis. In 2012, IBM transitioned the LotusLive brand to IBM SmartCloud for Social Business.
