IBM Extends its Social Business Platform with Social Email

IBM is extending its social business platform with an integrated social email.

The idea is to turm email from a client application used only for mail to a core component of a platform that drives knowledge sharing, workforce productivity and overall business value.

A single interface could be used to check email as well as activity streams containing the latest work from each team member, share files with colleagues, and view new blogs on topics relevant to the subject.

In addition, users have access to the same content all through their mobile device, including iPhones, Android devices, Windows Phone or the new BlackBerry 10.
