48. Social Media, it turns out, isn’t about aggregating audiences so you can yell at them about the junk you want to sell. Social Media, in fact, is a basic human need, revealed digitally online. We want to be connected, to make a difference, to matter … we want to belong...” Seth Godin, sethgodin.typepad.com http://www.famousbloggers.net/66-awesome-social-media-quotes.html
49. The Consumerization of IT You can blame the iPhone, Salesforce.com, and Facebook, but the truth is that business itself has driven the shift to employee-directed tech Source: http://www.infoworld.com/t/consumerization-it/the-real-force-behind-the-consumerization-it-177617

Unlike the traditional IT environment, which consisted of a portfolio or inventory of discrete applications and technologies tended by in-house technical specialists, the emerging environment is a tightly-woven fabric of on-premises and off-premises services offered to an increasingly mobile workforce and customer base on an ever-widening range of consumer devices, like smartphones and iPads.

What does this number tell us? - We are essential to the sales process for ICS - Our revenue is representative of our influence in the marketplace. - And it needs to GROW
We've been successful in selling Notes and Domino into the marketplace for nearly 2 decades. Why? - It's core to our expertise - We know the deliverables - We know the platform - We know the capabilities - Most importantly, we BELIEVE.
Plain and Simple – you can do business with Notes and Domino Why is it a fact? The numbers don't lie, it's a leading platform world-wide for messaging and collaboration
Share Customer ROI or General Stats from Analysts
When someone asks what you do for work, you're unlikely to respond, " I send and receive emails for a living." Unfortunately, it sometimes feels like that. Your Inbox represents a valuable flow of information. While you're in it, you are more valuable. The problem is that sending and receiving emails doesn't amount to a unit of work, in most cases. We have to leave the valuable information flow in order to "get work done". When we do this, we are "out of the loop" for a period of time. Further, we run the risk of becoming distracted, prolonging our absence from the information flow. Notes keeps you "in the flow" by bringing the information to you. We do this by including IM/presence awareness, Lotus Quickr personal content library integration, the Lotus Symphony Editors, sidebar plug-ins, RSS feeds, composite applications and widgets invoked from Live Text.
Web 2.0 is not going away. Social platforms will drive business prodcutivity internally and brand awareness externally. It's 2012 - We are at the halfway point of this growth!
Our core strength is in Notes and Domino. We know Notes and Domino selling strategies, and the strong value proposition around the product. IBM will continue make significant investments in features, functionality reinforcing the value proposition however the market has spoken. Consumer technology, ways of communicating, access to information is changing. The market is telling us we need to start thinking outside the Inbox.
We come full circle in our digital world. We've evolved from analog communication to digital which has effectively created barriers in communication. Technology actually has enabled the silos of today and now we are seeing new socail technology breaking them down. With social tools such as IBM Connections, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, people and organizations are able to revive the “conversation” and reconnect as they would back when it was only you and telephone. But at a phenomenal pace. Information sharing is the key point here. Meaning, we're transitioning back to virtual face-to-face conversation.
Social computing has empowered business users to go beyond the facets of traditional technologies. They are now influencing technology shifts that often don't involve IT departments. How do we as traditional Notes Domino technologist accept this shift and learn from it? We have to start using the social platforms ourselves and join the conversation
Adding to the previous slide, sure...the IT “walk on water” stereotypes still do exist but not as substantial as they once did in the 90's. In the 90's, business users were not adept to technology that enabled them to work better, faster, and be more agile. Twitter, Facebook, Salesforce, LinkedIn has created an information sharing network that has enabled organic learning for technology almost by accident. Embrace this change, join the conversation, and leverage it to close business in new ways
This computerworld article reinforces the marriage between business and technology. Silos are shrinking and we as IBM Partners have a real opportunity to sell the social concept within the firewall. The tools for us are there now to work with tech savvy end users.
Mobile and Cloud is essential. It enables social business. It enables business to happen in new ways and allows your customers sales force to work rapidly and information share with “their” customers. Social Business in the cloud is available with IBM. Get enabled with the Smart Cloud.
Evolution of Collaboration > Value discussions to business turning to social communication to grow business > Create a basis for social business through an evolution of business and technology
Because Notes & Domino is still the cornerstorne of our customers collaboration environment. It can now be the on-ramp to the social discussion with the social entitlements
How many of you would like to get more email? How many of you think more email (or a different user interface to email) will make your organization a standout organization?
The message here is that social business can now start with Notes Domino and extend into IBM Connections and Sametime. It's time to have these discussions to generate OI and Win Revenue for Services and eventually SOFTWARE
Notes Domino can still be the cornerstone of a collaborative environment however we have a unique opportunity to sell the value of social computing with IBM Connections entitlements. This gives your customers an opportunity to begin their social business transformation at little to no cost. The driving force for a successful deployment of these entitlements is not in the technology themselves but we as partners to represent what a social business is all about and showcasing that these tools (including Notes and Domino) is just a plaftform for the cultural shift in communication.

Engaged--- an interesting cultural shift is happening on twitter and facebook. We're connecting with people we know, we trust, we confide in. In business, we develop similar relationships to foster similar feelings for a common goal -> business success. If you think about it, we share information innately with one another when we are facing the person, physically. Micro-blogging or status updates allows us to information share across our entire network and if we are doing it in the context of Notes and Domino, we contribute to the common goal -> a successful business outcome!

Can you give back an hour, or two, or three of time back to the Inbox worker? Compellng reason to act -> Entitlements give you back on how to information share and not be a slave to the inbox.
We live in breathe in a real-time culture. On-Demand is more prevalent than ever and Sametime Meetings enables us to talk and share in real-time. Invite whomever and share. Why aren't you leveraging Sametime Meetings? There is no good reason NOT to leverage real-time technologies today.
<reminder> To touch a little bit on Sametime For us as partners, Sametime gives us the ability to demonstrate real-time collaboration WITH IBM. For our customers, there is no longer a valid excuse for not leveraging this entitlement and using Social Everywhere sales plays to our advantage
Questions to pose to audience How many would describe their inbox as “wild” or “untamed?” How many would say they get too much e-mail? There are different types of inboxes and management strategy -Out of control -Doubles as a to-do list (flags, folders) -Extract and reorganize using project management tool -Do nothing (incoming only, don’t respond) Is there a better solution than working out of the inbox? There has to be, right???!!! So why don’t we change our behavior? It’s in our nature to resist change It’s in our best interest improve, not stay stagnant.
Social Business in the Cloud – The opportunity? - Demonstrating TCO in infrastructure vs. service based technology - TCO involves all aspects of technology, support, hardware, people, power, and software VS. Cloud services – a compelling argument
Great onramp for smaller to midsize organizations who want to get out of supporting their business and get into “doing business”
New RockTeam customer this year who engaged us to evaluate social technolgies for their startup. Product launch in March 2012 We performed a study to evaluate their competition on social media and also how those concepts could help them internally for evolving their product AFTER the launch.
Flowline Components With nearly 20 years experience in this business, Flowline is well-known and respected as a full-service supplier of state-of-the-art components for hydraulic and pneumatic hose assemblies They've been on Notes Domino since 1993 with blade center technology and some doc management notes applications. Greg Johnston (CEO) made the decision to work on his business and move away from supporting his business.
We can answer the “why” behind this fact. The social phenomenon has been led by facebook, twitter...we are being led by consumers... it's an evolution
2012 is our year! The analysts are seeing this as a competitive year and it's time to lead our customers into the Social entitlements to start their social business transformation At RockTeam, I would say 80% of our own customers have asked us about Social technologies whether external or internal. It's on their minds. Engage in this conversation.
Start with definition of what is a standout organization. It is an organiation who's business performance – as defined by typical metrics: revenue growth, market cap, Price to Earnings ratio – is better than their peers. Leverage CMO, CEO, CHRO work done by IBM Institute for Business Value. Use Props!! (Studies, reports) – relevancy This information helps you (Mr. IT Person) prove relevancy and value to your execs. 57% of standouts are using social tools = “It's not just a time waster”
