IBM customers will be able to take advantage of the latest technology on offer when the computer giant comes to Bermuda later this month.

The IBM Lotusphere, which was held in Orlando in January, will be hosted by BCS (IBM's Bermuda Agency) on Tuesday, February 17 and take place at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute from 8.30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

"With ongoing tightening of IT budgets, the demonstration and communication of tangible business benefits becomes increasingly important when evaluating new collaborative solutions for your business," said Aaron Smith, general manager of BCS.

"We worked with IBM to bring Lotusphere to our customers and partners in Bermuda to demonstrate first hand how IBM clients have realised business value by working smarter together, with Lotus collaboration solutions."

Customers attending the event will learn how IBM clients have connected with their customers to build stronger and deeper relationships, collaborated internally and with their partners to become more agile organisations, innovated to generate new ideas and offerings, and optimised their work environments to gain efficiencies and cost savings.

IBM's agenda includes some of the most popular sessions from the original event in Orlando, with a variety of business and technical topics and a presentation by Howard Newton, sales executive for Lotus Collaboration Software.
