Mike Rhodin Business Quotations

With more and more small and medium business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide turning to IBM Lotus and IBM Business Partners to help them build industry-specific solutions, our focus in 2006 is on delivering products and services that are affordable to manage but do not compromise on depth of capability.

Companies are looking for new ways to combine their various silos of information and applications into a single view that can help them make better business decisions, reduce costs and improve time-to-value.

In today's business environment, customers face a choice of productivity and collaboration software that can be both costly and somewhat limiting in its design and deployment characteristics. Built with more flexibility and efficient management in mind, IBM's Workplace family of software products provides a broad range of capabilities to enhance employee productivity and enable organizations to leverage their intellectual capital and adapt more quickly.

While some of our competition is narrowing its focus to just e-mail capabilities, IBM continues to expand and evolve Lotus Notes and Domino to deliver the extended business value of a true collaborative platform. Over the last 20 years, IBM Lotus has defined this industry and has been at the forefront of collaborative innovation. With a broad new set of programs, platform support and Business Partner activity to support the Lotus Notes and Domino platform, we're continuing to meet the growing needs of our customers and are well positioned to maintain our leadership role into the future.
