Today: Hogne learns a lot of cool stuff about IBM’s new email solution, about inviting external users into IBM Connections and about Content Management!

Connected 2015 Day 1
Today: Hogne, of all people, learns something he didn’t know about the Notes client (and now you will too). It’s early Monday morning in Orlando, and the rain is pouring down outside on the balcony of my hotel room. It hasn’t been summer temperatures, but Sunday we did have sun. Not that I had much…
Connected2015 Day 0
I’m writing this on this Saturday morning (January 24th) at Oslo Gardermoen airport. Gunnar, a colleague of mine, and me are travelling Orlando in Florida, US. We are attending the annual IBM conference, that used to be called Lotusphere. I think IBM has changed the name of the conference every year since it stopped being…
Should You Turn on Out-of-Office?

In the past 3-4 years more and more businesses have started their own Facebook pages. The problem is that most of these pages are only used for self promotion. Now, it’s only natural for a business wanting to promote itself, but if that’s all you do on your Facebook page, you will quickly find that…
Universal Music Fails at Selling Music
Universal Music is probably the biggest music company in the world. They have a among the world’s most famous artists in their roster, and they have for the past two decades swallowed up most of the competition. You would think a record company like this would be good at their raison d’etre: Namely selling records….
A Quickr Way to Work With Library Files in IBM Connections
IBM added support for libraries (derived from Content Manager) in IBM Connections 4.5 Unfortunately the Files-plugins for IBM Notes, Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office 2010, Outlook or Open Office do not support libraries. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has received complaints from users about this. Then I remembered that at the IBM Connect…
