Lotusphere 2011: Introducing LotusLive Symphony
January 31 2011
Today IBM announced LotusLive Symphony, a revolution in online collaborative document editing. With a preview release later this quarter and final release later this year, LotusLive Symphony delivers word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations for users looking to improve efficiency and collaboration during the content authoring process. Like all of the LotusLive story, one of the unique differentiators for LotusLive Symphony is its ability to provide that value to interactions with customers, suppliers, and business partners in addition to colleagues within an organization.
In our mind, document editing is about more than cell formulas, formatting, and animation. LotusLive Symphony offers capabilities such as real-time or private co-editing, live sections, author presence awareness, contextual commenting, assignment and notifications, and task and attention management cues. Initially designed for use with LotusLive, we are also exploring ways to deliver these capabilities in an on-premises environment through an initial customer partnership.
We announced LotusLive Symphony a year ago as Project "Concord", and now have made significant progress and are ready for Technical Preview release 2. That will go live on Greenhouse.lotus.com after Lotusphere.
