IBM Connections 3.0.1 improves media sharing, content moderation, and idea sharing
New capabilities
Moderating community content
Community owners are provided with new capabilities for the moderation
of a community's content. These capabilities help community owners
realize the benefits of active and vibrant community participation,
while having the confidence of being able to moderate the content that
appears in a community.
Enhancing communities with video and photo sharing
The Media Gallery feature permits the sharing of videos and photos with
a community. These capabilities can help attract more visitors to a
community by creating a more compelling and satisfying experience for
community members.
Generating ideas within a community
The Ideation Blog feature is designed to help simplify the sharing of
ideas within a community, voting on the ideas and moving the best ideas
forward as projects. These new capabilities can, for example, help
gather ideas from customers in a structured manner, and facilitate
turning the best ideas into new services and offerings.
Integration with Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repositories
The ECM integration helps users to store, access, and edit documents
residing in FileNet® Content Manager and IBM Content Manager from within
a Community.
IBM Lotus Connections is being renamed to IBM
Connections. IBM Connections consists of social software that is enabled
to take advantage of the broad capabilities in IBM's software
portfolio. For example, Connections is now packaged with certain IBM
Cognos Business Intelligence offerings to support integration between
the two products. This naming change better aligns with that effort to
create IBM solutions which involve multiple brands designed to address
our customers specific business needs.
