In short, they research and analyse the IT industry, thus providing insight to their customers – usually commercial organisations looking to take strategic decisions on IT investments.

They’ve just published a new paper, entitled ‘SWOT Assessment: IBM Connections Version 5.0 and IBM SmartCloud Connections‘.  In it they analyse IBM’s solutions in the Social Business area – Connections and SmartCloudConnections, covering the following:

• Learn about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats pertaining to IBM Connections from an enterprise file sync and share perspective.

Key Questions Answered
