Goal: To help people get their jobs done…
… and help their organization be successful
People need to be able to:
• Create, discover and share information

them (and vice versa)

7. Social Software Is Not A New Idea
Until now, most PC software was designed for individuals using
individual PCs. But today, more and more people are working in
teams on networked PCs that require a new kind of software. Software
that lets them quickly share ideas and information no matter where,
when or how they work.
Enter Lotus Notes.
The first software than actually thrives on the fact that people need to
work together to be effective. Lotus Notes creates a new
communications environment where users can develop applications -
for sales tracking, project management, customer service, and free
form discussions of all kinds - and routinely access and share this
information from their desktop to anyone, anywhere in the world.
In fact, no other software maximizes your investments in networked
PCs like Lotus Notes.
After all, helping people work together is what Lotus does best. `
