2014. IBM also wants to fix Email


Following the examples set by Google Inbox and Microsoft Clutter, IBM is also aiming to revolutionize email with the introduction of IBM Verse. This "social mail" system is designed for businesses and seeks to reduce the time employees spend managing their inboxes. By incorporating calendars, contacts, file sharing, social updates, and other factors, IBM Verse can highlight the most important messages and provide valuable insights about the individuals involved. Over time, the system can learn and even predict which messages should be prioritized by each employee. Additionally, within an email thread, users can access a visual representation of the connections between all individuals involved, including their relationships and positions within the organization. As the system continues to learn, it can even suggest new individuals to add if it detects someone being left out. IBM Verse will launch as a beta version this month, with a full rollout, including mobile apps, expected in early 2015.




2009. IBM unveils GMail alternative. Google is happy.



When early this year IBM released their new SaaS platform, LotusLive, they promised to add Email to its suite. Today this promise is realized: the brand new SaaS email service LotusLive iNotes is available for business-users. IBM pushes it as a new alternative to Google Apps. Why Google Apps, but not GMail? Because, except the email tools, iNotes contains calendar and contact manager. IBM reps say that Google can't understand the difference between consumer web-services and business apps, and IBM has a vast experience in creating and supporting complex enterprise systems. So, it's just a question of time, when iNotes will drive away Google Apps users, moreover it costs only $36/user/year against Google's $50. ***
