IBM is offering customers access to a number of business applications by integrating its LotusLive SaaS collaboration suite with Salesforce.com, UPS shipping, Skype and Silanis e-signature.

“‘For many years in the Lotus business we’ve been talking about collaboration in the context of the work you do every day,’ said Sean Poulley, vice president for cloud collaboration. The areas addressed by the new integrations are core horizontal building blocks of a company,’ he added.
