More Guests At The SocialEnterprise Party: IBM, Escorted By Harmon.ie

party hatsIBM may not be the earliest mover among B2B companies offering more social features to its clients, but it is definitely trying to make sure it stays in game: today it announced that it would extend the social media features it offers through IBM Connections -- roughly, the companys enterprise equivalent of a social network for work colleagues and contacts -- to include integration with Microsoft Outlook email, courtesy of a partnership with Israel-based enterprise startup harmon.ie.The new service will see IBM Connections appear as a sidebar for those who use Outlook. That will give people the ability to do things like access SharePoint documents, see who is online and message them while still remaining in the email application.(And to draw a line between what IBM is doing in enterprise with whats happening in the consumer market, this is somewhat equivalent to Facebook offering a desktop messaging app to use when youre not directly on its site.)
