IBM Introduces Latest Set Of Web 2.0, Collaboration Tools
|
|
IBM (NYSE: IBM) plans to release during the first half of the year a new set of tools that enable employees to build their own mashup on a Web page within a corporate portal and share it throughout an organization.
IBM's Lotus Mashups builder, introduced Wednesday at the Lotusphere user conference in Orlando, Fla., is meant to provide employees with the ability to populate a page with the services they find most useful within the context of their jobs. The services can come from a human resource application or other business software within an organization, or from the Internet, such as embedding a Wikipedia page or a Google (NSDQ: GOOG) search bar.
In order to get these capabilities to the end user, the IT department would build the page in which the services could be dragged on to. For example, an IT department could build an organizational chart or a map of a sales region that employees could add a layer of services on top of. The process is similar to how Google Maps lets people drag markers on to locations and then link the markers to information on other Web services, such as YouTube.
