Here begins the article, I have never used the IBM Workplace so feel free to correct and change it as you like! Zeth

I updated the information regarding IBM Workplace. I work on the IBM Workplace team. (Pouliopoulos)

With all respect to Pouliopoulos, I think the article is going to get hammered for being a little too much like reading a press release. It's a good start, but it's somewhat vague and light on detail. How is the content going to be delivered to the clients? Via a browser? Standalone application? Will all browsers be supported or just some, if that's the delivery mechanism? At what stage in the development process is it -- are we talking about vaporware here, or is there a working prototype system actually in existence? These are the sorts of questions readers want answers to, and which they can't get by just skimming IBM's site themselves. -- Kadin2048 22:20, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"IBM Workplace is a family of products and technologies from IBM for creating adaptive, unified, secure work environments that can be customized based on users' unique roles and/or skill levels in the organization." Yes, but what is it?

Operating systems?

[edit]

You've got a good working outline for an important article. But it would be good to work in what operating system or systems are supported by which components. That is actually the information I am trying to track down. Marbux 04:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dont try to sell lads!

[edit]

I really don't like this article. It seems to and sell the product rather than document it. This is blatantly obvious at the end of the article. It finishes off on a finale describing how it can reduce costs for IT etc. I worked in IBM before as a developer for workplace and I know how desperate you guys are to sell it (I say you guys because I'm sure the people who wrote this work for or have a vested interest in IBM). Dumb it down, forget the benefits and document its features objectively.
