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.

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.
