Business2community.com reviews two of the web-conferencing heavyweights:
Beyond initial connectivity, LotusLive is the easier product to use and is less expensive. Our reviewer found the variety of features offered by LotusLive Meetings to be best in class compared to others reviewed, as well as among the easiest to use, and at a lower price point.More >
WebEx, on the other hand, was found to be a bit more complex and pricey. As our reviewer advised, WebEx is best for users with at least moderate levels of web conferencing experience, noting that “many users recommend that someone other than the moderator should actually run the presentation technically.”

You wait for ages, then two come along at once! ;-)
I really like this reference, this food products organisation (Newly Weds Foods) show significant travel cost reductions as a result of using IBM LotusLive and becoming a more Social Business.

IBM is changing the ordering process for LotusLive Collaboration, Email, and Web meeting services, making it easier for you to order. IBM Online Collaboration will now be part of the new International Passport Advantage Agreement.Interesting to see a new brand name or categorisation being used... 'IBM Online Collaboration'.
As of 18 July 2011, LotusLive orders entered through the IBM Passport Advantage System no longer require a signed Fixed Term Use Attachment. The new International Passport Advantage Agreement being rolled-out in July has been updated to include IBM's SaaS terms; and therefore, customers no longer need to agree to separate IBM SaaS terms. Read the FAQ and presentation, under Sales Tools, regarding the LotusLive order process.
For more information regarding Passport Advantage, visit the Passport Advantage Web site (log-in required).

The excellent LotusLive Meetings app has been available for the iPhone/iPod Touch for a year or so now, but has just been released for the iPad as well:
I've already used it for 4 or 5 meetings and it is now my preferred access point - continue to get work done on the laptop whilst conference calls are running on the iPad alongside. Love it!
(A couple of minor feedback points for those behind the app. It would be better to have landscape-mode screenshots in the App Store, much more impressive. Also, one universal app that does iPhone and iPad would work better for many folks as there is no need to download and manage two different apps.)

Signature Mortgage explain why they chose IBM LotusLive to speed their loan application process.
My comments:
- A great reference for both LotusLive and Silanis e-SignLive - this shows the benefits of IBM's campaign to sign SaaS partners for the LotusLIve suite.
- $35,000 of additional revenue per month - that's real ROI.
- I'm guessing that Signature Mortgage has less than 1,000 users, making it an SMB in IBM's eyes. Great to see a public reference for such an organisation.

As part of the Sping release, IBM has added integration with yet another third-party application, Teampoint.
Heres what Teampoint does:
This video explains this well:TeamPoint makes the management of your policies and procedures easier than ever. TeamPoint tracks and manages the creation of your controlled documents, helping you remain compliant with employment law, health and safety regulations and standards such as ISO 9001.
TeamPoint also allows you to capture an employee’s acceptance of key policies and procedures and automatically provides a “Starter Pack” for new employees based on their location in your organization. Integrated with LotusLive collaboration tools, now you can share your documents through LotusLive while still controlling versions and access through TeamPoint.
This application works with LotusLive Engage and Connections and requires a subscription of TeamPoint.

Hopefully an iOS port will follow soon.
