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, 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.”
