Social "Workforce" Solutions?
Formerly "Lotus" according To the Financial Statements
As a PR man, I always loved relative increases...
IBM Collaboration Solutions (the artist formerly known as Lotus) + Kenexa = Social Workforce Solutions.
Must be Rudy's magic :-)
Musical chairs with names as not uncommon in large organisations, ahem I mean: adjustment of the offering name to align it to the well known IBM brand and the expanding capabilities.
What a change! Previous earnings reports always showed lotus loosing ground. Now it has been absorbed into IBM it grows 22%!
Promising!
