internal billing between
IBM departments
• Leverage IBM social tools
(ex: communities) for
support and guidance

• ~600,000 users are now transitioned to new meetings in IBM Connections cloud
• Officially launched in Q2 2014
• Security considerations:
• Federated ID management for authentication
• Passwords are required for all meetings
Cloud meetings in the consumer product industry
• A company with products that make people’s lives healthier and more enjoyable
– Global presence: 200 countries and territories– 24,000 employees
• Connections cloud meetings = “a single tool for everything”– Millions of meeting minutes per month
• Focus on ease of use and security– SSO = ease of use + consistent security management (ex: password
policies)– Requirement for browser access with “locked desktops”
• Benefits: moving to the cloud broke down infrastructure barriers– Ease of access for guests (external vendors, partners)
• Go to Web site, punch in number. • There is no registration or email address required.
– Strong mobile adoption (ex: sellers use iPad to present in meetings)
