With it, companies can promote knowledge-sharing, staff development, innovation and networking opportunities. We used IBM technology and created our own TeamPark methodology to build our internal collaboration platform. With around 20,000 employees using it, it is one of the largest implementations of IBM s Connections platform in the world. Customer success: Asian Paints Sogeti deployed IBM Connections social software, integrated with IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Sametime software, to 3,800 employees of Asian Paints in India. As a result, the company saw an impressive improvement in collaboration, accelerated business process and greater innovation. Once the visibility of employees capabilities rises, we begin to know the experts we can bring into our projects and help us solve problems. Deepak Bhosale Chief IT Manager Asian Paints Ltd. A taste of our own medicine At Sogeti we implemented IBM Connections because it is a powerful collaboration platform that goes way beyond the simple sharing of documents and furthermore, it is people-centric rather than project or document-centric. We believe that this is the future of collaboration and we are pleased to be at the forefront of this trend. Luc-François Salvador Chairman and CEO Sogeti Group 3
