Forrester Names IBM Leader in Enterprise IM Wave

I think I may have missed blogging about this when it first came out:  Forrester has named IBM as a leader in The Forrester Wave for Enterprise Instant Messaging.

You can download the full report from the Cool Stuff page on the new ibm.com/sametime site.

Being a good corporate citizen, I can't include any screengrabs from the report, but would highly encourage you to go take a look for yourselves, including at the summary wave diagram.

Lotus Sametime received perfect "5"s in a number of categories, and was called out by Forrester for the ability to integrate line-of-business functionality into the application platform, the APIs to presence-enable line-of-business applications, multiple implementations over 350,000 users, and our extensive voice and video support through partnerships with network and conferencing vendors.

Congratulations to you and the rest of the team! I have to be very honest and say I have been very impressed at how well IBM has managed to turn this around. At one point IBM had basically sunsetted Sametime, it's good to see that even the largest of companies can see the error of their ways and turn it around.
