The yearly conference in Orlando that brings together the best of our technical IBM community and an opportunity to meet with experts, build or renew friendships and learn about upcoming changes and improvements in the IBM Collaboration Software stack. I’m not […]

The 5th Social Connections in Zurich last Friday was a great success. It is always a joy to see when things come together and they certainly did this time! I flew out of Schiphol airport on Wednesday night after dropping off my car at the massive car park […]
