IBM® Connections is social software for business. It enables you to build a network of colleagues and subject matter experts, and then leverage that network to further your business goals. You can discuss ideas, work collaboratively on presentations or proposals, share photos or files, plan and track project tasks, and much more. IBM Connections is a server product that is deployed on your company intranet or the IBM SmartCloud. This IBM Connections mobile app extends access to that server for employees who are on the go directly from their Android™ device. This app can also be securely managed by your company administrator through server side policies.

Features

- Securely drop documents, presentations and photos to your colleagues with Files.
- Find experts in your organization and build a social network with Profiles.
- Join together with others to accomplish business goals through Communities.
- Influence and share your expertise through Blogs and Wikis.
- Get everyone on the same page using Bookmarks.
- Track your project progress to success with Activities.
- Share news, links and status across your network at any time.

    I still can't reply to a forum post from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (or any other Android device I have tried). Tired of reaching for my laptop to Connect.

    I primarily use the wiki function of connections. On my nexus 7 every time I try to open one the application fails. I have tried reporting this with logging levels increased and supporting files to IBM and they refer me to some other department. All in

    A great mobile client is one you use in preference to it's desktop one; I now primarily work in this client, it's so good.

    Full directory access in my hand. Email phone and a photo of who I'm looking for. Couldn't be in the road without it.

    still no love for Android 4.2 :-( Also, attaching files to status updates does not work for me.
