At the 2009 Lotusphere RIM is showing off some new tools based around the Lotus platform due later this year: Symphony document viewing, Quickr team collaboration, Domino Designer and XPages. RIM initially touted Lotus Connections compatibility at last year’s Lotusphere, but it’s getting a few additional features such as blogs, communities and activities. The whole suite is a fine match for BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM), as they’re both born and bred for enterprise use.
“Team collaboration shouldn’t stall when employees are on the road or away from their desk,” said Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO, Research In Motion. “RIM and IBM are strengthening the BlackBerry platform for Lotus with a portfolio of enterprise social networking and collaboration capabilities that will make BlackBerry smartphones even more effective in mobilizing businesses around the globe.”
