IBM’s Connections software is built for business but inspired by consumer-driven social media making it easy to use and allowing employees to share information rapidly. With it, companies can promote knowledge-sharing, staff development, innovation and networking opportunities.

We used IBM technology and created our own TeamPark methodology to build our internal collaboration platform. With around 20,000 employees using it, it is one of the largest implementations of IBM’s Connections platform in the world.

Sogeti deployed IBM Connections social software, integrated

with IBM Lotus Notes® and IBM Sametime® software, to 3,800

employees of Asian Paints in India.

As a result, the company saw an impressive improvement

in collaboration, accelerated business process and greater

innovation.

“Once the visibility of employees’ capabilities rises, we begin to know the experts

we can bring into our projects and help us solve problems.”

“At Sogeti we implemented IBM Connections because it is a powerful collaboration

platform that goes way beyond the simple sharing of documents

and furthermore, it is people-centric rather than

project or document-centric. We believe that this is the

future of collaboration and we are pleased to be at the

forefront of this trend.”
