IBM Press Release is backwards
By now you've seen the news about IBM's press release regarding their success. I am absolutely thrilled to see this, and my fingers are crossed that this is the first sortie of many to come from new Lotus GM Bob Picciano.
Two interesting things of note...
1) The headline is backwards. It reads "IBM Growth in Emerging Markets Fuels Lotus Momentum." But really, it's Lotus' growth in emerging market that's fueling IBM's momentum. Lotii should be pleased that they're able to carry the rest of IBM along with them.
(And I look forward to
the day when IBM realizes they can't write MSFT off as a divisional competitor.)
2) The best part of the release? Not the observations on closed deals. Not the customer names. Not the identifying Exchange as "legacy proprietary technology."
The best part is this and this. IBM included screenshots of the Notes 8.5 client in the release. BOOYAH!
Congrats to the whole IBM Lotus team!
