The companies will work together to provide Lotus customers, including Lotus Notes users, new ways to interact with their trusted professional network. Professionals will be able to safely and efficiently start web meetings, add business context to e-mail senders, and learn more about collaborators, colleagues, potential partners and prospects through integrated LinkedIn profiles.
"There has been significant demand from companies seeking to increase enterprise productivity by leveraging LinkedIn's powerful network of professionals," said Reid Hoffman, chairman and CEO of LinkedIn. "Today's announcement represents a step forward in addressing that need."
"Finding, connecting and collaborating with people and information you can trust is essential to working smarter and maximizing productivity in the workplace," said Bob Picciano, general manager of Lotus Software at IBM. "The Lotus partnership with LinkedIn will allow us to collectively provide direct, easy and fast access to both the information and the collaborative services people need to drive better business outcomes."
"LinkedIn's collaboration with Lotus will bring professional network productivity into enterprise applications," said Ellen Levy, vice president of corporate development and strategy of LinkedIn. "The workplace of tomorrow will bring 'networked productivity' to professionals, both within and beyond the firewall."
LinkedIn plans to integrate with three key products in the Lotus portfolio, bringing Web 2.0 professional networking capabilities to each component. Additionally, LotusLive will bring its collaboration capabilities to professionals on LinkedIn.
Lotus Notes - By integrating LinkedIn into Lotus Notes, users can add critical business context to the core communication experience in order to collaborate and communicate more efficiently. Integration with LinkedIn will also help users monitor their broader professional network right within Notes, via a feed of Network Updates from LinkedIn. Users will also be able to look up the LinkedIn profiles of e-mail senders or other Lotus Notes contacts and utilize LinkedIn people search without leaving the inbox they use all day.
Lotus Connections - By providing direct access to LinkedIn, Lotus Connections lets its users effortlessly interact and communicate with the 34 million professionals on LinkedIn and allows users to access LinkedIn public profiles while using Lotus Connections. The LinkedIn profile information will augment existing Lotus Connections profiles to include a wide range of information on past experiences, educational background, skills, passions and qualifications to help facilitate collaboration.
LotusLive.com - By integrating with IBM's LotusLive.com users will be able to access LinkedIn's professional network and then instantly collaborate with the professionals they need to work with using LotusLive services such as real-time web conferencing and file sharing.
The LinkedIn integration will be available at no additional cost to Lotus users. The partnership is non-exclusive.
