Interview on Lotus, Lotus Connections and Enterprise 2.0 with Björn Negelmann (prior to E2.0 Summit, Frankfurt, Oct 11-12, 2009)
 1) Stefan - please introduce yourself. Who are you and what are you doing? Good
question. I am very often asking myself, who I am and what I am doing.
I am the Market Manager for the Lotus-Brand of IBM in Germany bringing
our offerings to the German market. And as a former journalist I am
actively blogging on IBM Blue Blog, on EULUC and on my private blog,
using Twitter and social networks, not only for business purposes, but
for private use, too. 2) What’s behind the so-called “Lotus-Brand of IBM”? The
IBM Software Group is divided in several brands like WebSphere, Tivoli,
Rational. Information Management and Lotus. The Lotus brand is the
division within IBM focussing on Collaboration, Enterprise 2.0, Unified
Communication and Portals. It is successor of the former Lotus
Development, which has been acquired years ago. 3) What’s the relevance of Lotus Connections within the German market strategy of IBM? Lotus
Connections as Enterprise 2.0 platform plays an important role for the
German market mainly as an integrated platform for secure internal use
of Web 2.0 functionality within the Enterprise. It is offering all
relevant Web 2.0 functions tightly integrated on one platform, which
gives us a lot of advantages in comparison to island solutions. With
LotusLive Connections - our new SaaS offering - we are now extending
this beyond the Enterprise making Web 2.0 collaboration possible
between companies in a secure environment - for an extremely attractive
price. Both offerings will drive Enterprise 2.0 acceptance and we at
IBM call this Smarter Work or Smarter Collaboration. 4) What’s the difference between the collaboration approach of the Lotus Notes and Lotus Connections offerings? Our
social software is complimentary to the traditional Lotus Notes
environment. Lotus Notes is more than E-mail and as Matt Cain from
Gartner stated “The Future of E-Mail”. As an Ecplise based
collaboration platform it is going beyond the traditional inbox
offering unique access to all information you need for your daily work,
from E-Mail to SAP processes and Web 2.0 functionality. And with Lotus
Connections we are offering exactly this Web 2.0 functionality,
seemingless integrated into the Notes Desktop with Social
Software-services like Profiles, Tagging, Bookmarking, Wikis and Blogs
- within the Notes-environment and beyond. And this is very important:
Lotus Connections can be used together with Lotus Notes, but is running
in the same way completely independant from Notes, e.g. in
Microsoft-environments with Outlook, Office or Sharepoint. Customers
are using in SAP Portals. It is running on Linux and Mac. Lotus
Connections is a true Enterprise 2.0-platform. 5)
So briefly - Lotus Connection is a “social add-on toolset” on top of
Notes and other commercial offerings. How standardized is this toolset?
I would not say it is an add-on toolset. It is a platform, which
integrates into Desktop applications, into E-Mail and Portals - and so
directly into the user interface of the end users. E.g. with a right
mouse click they do have access to functions, they do know from their
Web 2.0 experience. They do have access to their social network within
their Enterprise, to blogs and wikis, to bookmarks, they can share
files and they can organize collaborative activities. Compare it
with the Web 2.0: You don’t have separated tools and interfaces like
Delicious, Slideshare, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Wikipedia etc. You
do have one integrated easy to use platform and interface. As far as I
can see it is the only Enterprise 2.0-platform which has all these
features integrated and cross-linked - and not separated. One self
explaining example of the value of the integrated platform: Tagging is
used in ever module and through a tag cloud you do find activities,
profiles, blog and wiki entries, activities, bookmarks. The Activity
module is another function, why Connections is unique in its value
proposition and why it is a standard platform, not a collection of
separated tools. 6) What is your view on the adoption of Enterprise 2.0 in Germany? Where are we right now? We
are at the beginning of the curve in adopting what we call Enterprise
2.0 in Germany. It is a process and still will take some time. The
crucial point is that we do need to explain the value and ROI in
particular in these economic hard times. We loose potential interest
and customers, if we only talk technology and bits & bytes. This is
at least my experience, when presenting outside our own small Web 2.0
scene or blogosphere. For the normal customers we do need references,
use cases, practical examples, where companies and government learn how
they can benefit. And I believe that this is our major task, not only
in Germany. 7) What are the key references of Lotus Connections that give an example for significant gain of value and ROI? There
are a bunch of references. Rheinmetall is one using Lotus Connections
for collaborative processes. Our German Lotus User Group is another one
using Lotus Connections as platform for their activities on www.euluc.com.
They do use nearly all functions from blogs to profiles to communities
to organize the User Group. Developer Works is an example, where we at
IBM connect our developer network worldwide and allow them to
interlock, discuss and exchange ideas. And of course there are a lot
more examples. 8) Do you see any industries that
have advantages in realizing the gain of value of an Enterprise 2.0
initiative in comparison towards others? As far as
I can see it is not really industry dependant. It depends on the
mission of the enterprise or the government. If collaboration,
communication and networking is a major task, Enterprise 2.0 concepts
provides value. If project teams have to work collaboratively together,
e.g. in different time zones, Enterprise 2.0 tools promise better
collaboration and processes. If communication, interaction and the
‘wisdom of the crowds’ is important, Enterprise 2.0 is a must. I
personally believe Enterprise 2.0 is really independant from
industries, but I can see a lot of value for Government in
communicating with the citiziens, but it seems that we are still far
away in this ‘industry’. And in my personal opinion I do have much
broader definition of Enterprise 2.0 going beyond the traditional Web
2.0 functions. E.g. I believe Unified Communication belongs to
Enterprise 2.0. The overall goal should be, that employees, partners,
customers can interact and work smarter together - with the focus on
together. 9) Where do you see the key challenges for realizing these values and returns? The
key challenges are not technological challenges. The challenges are
organizational and cultural. The company needs to have the willingness
and management support to introduce Enterprise 2.0 functions. You need
to have quick wins to convince users - and in particular management. So
select good use cases, which can be realized in a short time frame. Get
management support. Get professional help for your project, so it is a
success. Select departments and users, which are Web 2.0 friendly and
who appreciate better collaboration and communication in their job
role. 10) Last but not least - what are your expectations and desires for the upcoming Enterprise 2.0 SUMMIT? Good
questions. Re-emphasize the importance of the concept Enterprise 2.0. I
do have the feeling that E 2.0 has gone under cover the last months. A
small group of E 2.0 enthusiasts is enjoying itself in blogging, tweets
and internal discussions. This doesn’t really. We need to raise the
awareness of the Enterprise 2.0 concept in particular in these economic
difficult times. We need to address decision makers, that E 2.0 is a
no-brainer.
