What we value
People first. At Lotus software from IBM, we focus on the human side of e-business, enabling people to use ground-breaking technology to collaborate, learn and fully leverage their collective knowledge to achieve success. Our focus has been consistently rewarded by our loyal customers.

Where we're leading
Lotus software sets the standard for innovative software and services that reflect our unique perspective on new ways individuals and businesses can work together to achieve success. Lotus software redefines the concept of conducting business with dynamic workplaces and other innovative ways of connecting ideas, thinkers, buyers, sellers and communities in an on demand world.

Building on our heritage
In 1983, Lotus helped launch the personal computing revolution. Our Lotus 1-2-3, the electronic spreadsheet that became the first PC "killer ap," convinced people that the time was right to take computing out of the data center and onto the desktop. Millions of copies later, 1-2-3 was in use around the world

Lotus soon recognized the limitations of the isolated PC and pressed on with a new vision: group communications software for workgroup computing. With the release of Lotus Notes in 1989, Lotus was again creating the market and again revolutionizing the way people worked with computers, and together.

In 1995, Lotus joined with IBM, the world's largest technology company. Today, as one of the four brands of the IBM Software group, Lotus software draws on the deep research and development capabilities of IBM to continue our proud heritage of innovation. With offerings that dissolve boundaries and enable collaboration and learning, Lotus software helps customers worldwide to improve human productivity by fundamentally changing how people work together.
