IBM Tech’Lotus - 2008-08-27 - Web2.0 : from virtual to real

The first edition of Tech’Lotus will take place on 2008, 26 and 27 of August at the IBM forum of La Défense. I want to let you know about a conference in particular, on which i’ve been working on, which is S42 : Web 2.0 : at last something useful for companies (the original French title is a bit less “aggressive”)

It’s been 2 years that i’ve been working at IBM, and i must say that i’ve been taking advantage of possibilities of internal networking to meet very good people, with whom i’ve learnt and exchanged much, this allowing us to improve our knowledge. There are skills everywhere, and always people that can help you with a specific subject. There’s also several internal blogs that i frequently read and this helps me find a lot of information.

I’ve also been testing several products in an early-adoption. I’ve been joining internal communities, participating internal communities, sharing activities, producing podcasts, all of this helping to better the exchange of information and making it available for every employee.

This has been possible due to personal initiatives but also because of good products like, Lotus Notes 8, Lotus Quicker,  Lotus Connection, but also the IBM Technology Adoption Program and the huge number of services available in it. I can’t speak more regarding which products can be used in this program but i can tell you that we’ve got in IBM several good services to find people matching skills and technological interests, in a very “web 2.0″ way.

As i said, IBM is one of the companies that has understand the way collaborative tools can be used for facilitating innovation, and IMHO it’s because they’ve got a long experience on technologies making collaboration available for everyone in companies. So even if collaborative web is becoming a reality for more and more people today, but some companies are used to handle this since a long time.

Here is the teaser for this event (in French) :

This conference will be hold in French and will show the state of the art regarding collaborative web and how to implement good usages in companies. Some clients cases will be presented. You will be able to exhange with speakers at the end of the conference.

Hope to see you around. (Second life pseudo : Timothee Vaher).
