IBM's Lotus software division is set to reveal additions to its Workplace family of collaboration tools on Wednesday.
IBM's Lotus division has introduced the latest updates to its desktop messaging and collaboration server software.
IBM on Thursday unveiled a plan to spend US$100 million over the next three years to build support for Linux into desktop applications for its Workplace software.
Once mired in a stagnant market, IBM's Lotus division will use industry standards to loosen Microsoft's grip on desktop software, according to the outgoing Lotus general manager.
Big Blue took the wraps off products meant to take consumer technologies like blogs and Web bookmarks to the business world.
A new program to convert Lotus Notes/Domino users to the Microsoft platform stands on shaky ground in Australia and the rest of Asia-Pacific, and has the potential to fail miserably.
The general manager of Lotus software is a 22-year IBM veteran who was instrumental in IBM's Deep Blue supercomputing chess project. Now he's hoping to stay one move ahead of Microsoft.
IBM has quietly consolidated management of its Lotus software division within Big Blue's portal organisation.

This product represents the first deliverable in IBM's next-generation collaboration strategy and signals the start of a new movement toward less expensive, more stable, and more secure e-mail systems, says Meta Group.
This is an impressive update to Microsoft's Small Business Server that packs a big punch. However, it may be overkill for a lot of companies and isn't quite as easy to manage as it first appears.
Microsoft is expected to unveil a new instant messaging service aimed at corporate customers, jump-starting belated efforts by the software giant to tap a fast-growing, new market for the hugely popular technology.
The Web portal begins a campaign targeting IT managers who have banned its product at work.
No recount needed here: Microsoft Office has a mandate. Whether the voters spoke with their pocketbooks or Microsoft crushed competition with predatory practices is immaterial; the fact is, more small businesses run on Office than any other suite. The second and most recent beta version of Office 10, the hopefully temporary name for the next edition of the suite, came out last month. The suite is far from ready for release -- it's too flaky and way too slow for work-a-day chores and chews up system resources faster than Jim Carrey changes personalities -- but from what I've seen so far, Office 10 shows some small business smarts in four areas.
The ease and convenience of instant messaging has made it popular with users. But is instant messaging a curse or a boon for the office environment?
