RIM at LoLA and BlackBerry Quickr Client at CU
Category LoLA
Bookmark :
Back from the Lotus Leadership Alliance 2009 in Boston where selected customers and Business Partners get together to discuss future strategy and share feedback on real-life experience. So it was interesting to see a good turnout there from RIM, both Jen Stevenson - RIM Enterprise Product Manager IBM Technologies - and Neil Saungikar - RIM Product Manager, Software Product Management Group - were at LoLA.
Neil has come in to take over from Valerie Wang who has been promoted within RIM, and can I just say here that in my opinion Valerie did a great job in helping build bridges between the Lotus and RIM teams.
Having Jen and Neil there does emphasise the ongoing close relationship between Lotus and RIM. I have said this before but RIM's continuing commitment to working with Lotus on mobility and smartphones impresses me. Its worth noting that smartphones are the fastest growing sector of a mobile device market that is pretty flat elsewhere, and the only two players there are BlackBerry and iPhone.
A further example of that relationship was earlier this week when Jen Stevenson gave the attendees at Collaboration University London a sneak peek at the BlackBerry Quickr Client. I hear it went down well!
