I just wanted to quickly recommend a couple of posts from Julius Schwarzweller at German IBM business partner, GIS AG.
He was quick to get hold of the new IBM Connections 5.0 release and has been working with it for the past few weeks. He’s been kind enough to document his findings on a couple of blog posts, My experiences with IBM Connections 5 and My Experiences with IBM Connections 5 – Part 2.
In part 1, Julius discusses some of the details of installation and of configuring the new External Communities functionality.
In part 2, he goes onto outline more of the features that have been added to the new release.
Well worth digesting if you’ll be looking to deploy Connections 5 in the near future!
