Since Lotus Symphony 1.0 was released last week, IBM now is offering formal support options for the product:
IBM Elite Support for IBM Lotus Symphony 1.0
Overview
IBM Elite Support for IBM Lotus Symphony 1.0, a support-only offering, delivers remote technical support. You can purchase this optional support via an annual subscription through Passport Advantage or Passport Advantage Express.
The three core applications making up IBM Lotus Symphony – Lotus Symphony Documents, Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets, and Lotus Symphony Presentations – are designed to handle most office productivity tasks that workers typically perform. Lotus Symphony applications support the Open Document Format (ODF) standard, which helps free users from proprietary file formats and expensive software licensing and upgrade agreements.
IBM Lotus Symphony gives users the freedom to create and share information, as well as assemble composite applications that link to business processes. Companies can integrate IBM Lotus Symphony tools into their custom applications and easily connect to a myriad of data sources to create composite applications. These rich applications enable users to work in a single view, and present data from multiple sources instantly.
IBM Lotus Symphony is a suite of office productivity tools that can be downloaded, installed, and used at no charge.
