ARMONK, N.Y., Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today IBM (NYSE: IBM) is introducing new cloud and mobile-enabled social business software and service capabilities which will allow line of business executives to quickly move their business processes into the cloud to drive better decision making and increase productivity.

For example, using new mobile file synch capabilities, line of business leaders in sales can update a customer presentation on their iPad in real-time, incorporating feedback from a meeting that just ended. The executive can then synch the newest version into the cloud to ensure the entire team has access to the latest document. At the same time, customer service leaders can launch audio and video based desktop and mobile conferences to review the latest training materials with their global team in order to improve service to customers.

Social networking has had a profound effect on business and when combined with cloud delivery models and new mobile device capabilities it can radically transform an organization. By bringing social and mobile devices into the cloud, businesses have the opportunity to empower employees to work more effectively, collaboratively and securely from any location in order to create larger more effective global workforces.

"The one-two social and cloud combination has not only delivered an increase in productivity with our own workforce, but our clients are also reaping the benefits," said Pamela Webb, SVP, Business Services, SafeGuard World International, which provides globally managed payroll services. "The ability to actively engage and have real-time visibility to project progress in a secure environment really gives our clients confidence in both the implementation process and our organization."

Highlights of the new advanced social, mobile, mail and meetings capabilities available in the IBM SmartCloud for Social Business include:

"Successful workforces today are fueled by powerful social technologies that give employees access to vital information and the insights of colleagues while on the go," said Alistair Rennie, general manager, social business, IBM. "We are giving businesses the opportunity to forever change how employees work through new powerful features that allow them easily to remain connected and productive from anywhere."

IBM is also announcing the availability of IBM SmartCloud for Social Business on SoftLayer's industry leading Infrastructure in a new Amsterdam data center, along with four new on-boarding services that help customers quickly move to the cloud. For example, IBM is offering a new cloud-based hybrid server deployment option for companies that allows them to bridge on-premises and cloud with a single administration console while also accelerating their transition from weeks and months into hours with no hardware investment.

Today more than 9,000 cloud clients, including Sika AG and SafeGuard World International, and 75 percent of the Fortune 100 are transforming their business operations with IBM enterprise social software and the momentum continues to grow as companies turn to IBM SmartCloud.

Sika AG, a specialty chemicals company based in Switzerland, needed to share information faster among its employees across more than 80 countries as well as with its suppliers and customers. With IBM SmartCloud for Social Business, Sika can give 11,500 users across all lines of business operations an easy way to share ideas, improve productivity, fuel business innovation and more effectively reach customers and suppliers to boost sales, all while substantially lowering IT costs.

Although social networking sites have become part and parcel of every day living for most people around the world, parents and teachers are seeing these sites as a cause for concern for their children.

Adults feel that they need to monitor the amount of time spent surfing these sites, and the kind of interaction children are exposed to by way of social networking sites.

Aloysius Dmello, principal, Greenwood High International School said: We have banned the use of networking sites in our school. However, the children may operate it from home. The parents have to take the responsibility to see that children do not enter them.

Dinakar Wilson principal for Baldwin Boys High School says children should concentrate on their academics at their age, not online socialising.

On the laws governing these websites, Pavan Duggal, a cyber law expert said that the Indian IT Act was formed in 2000 and was silent regarding the age one could access the internet. It was amended in 2008, but there no specifications were made in the social media area.

The Indian Majority Act of 1875 says a person has to be a major that is 18 years old to have the capacity to enter a contract, Duggal added.Social networking sites have taken some amount of the responsibility into their own hands. For example, Facebook set 13 years as the minimum age of signing up.

Pratheeksha M, a parent and an IT professional said: My 14-year-old son is on my friend list on Facebook and I keep a tab on what he does. However, I feel that social networking sites are only an extension of communication, and they make the world a smaller place to live in. Its alright for adults, who need to keep in touch with each other.

Much of the new iOS 7 software is about cosmetic changes. The three-dimensional magazine rack in the Newsstand app is gone, for instance. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan)

The changes to Apple's iOS software became apparent as I drove to the headquarters of the company's rival, Google. As I navigated using Apple's mapping app, I noticed one of my favorite attributes was missing: the directions for each next turn presented in green boxes that resemble highway signs.

Many of the changes in Apple's operating system for mobile devices are cosmetic. Gone are three-dimensional icons that mimic real-world counterparts, such as a magazine rack for the Newsstand app. They are replaced by larger, two-dimensional icons sporting abstract designs and pastel colors. Apple also extended that new look to many of its apps. In Maps, the green boxes are replaced with solid white across the top.

It didn't take long to realize that deeper down, the new iOS 7 software is the same as the one I've come to know.

The new software does have several functional improvements, but those take time to stumble upon. The good news is that even if you never discover them, you can still use your device the way you did before. The free update is available starting Wednesday.

I'm covering the features specific to Apple's new iPhone 5S and 5C in a separate review. This one is about whether it makes sense to upgrade to iOS 7 on your existing iPhone or iPad.

The biggest functional change is the use of swipes instead of taps to access key functions. You can already swipe up from the bottom right side of the screen to quickly access the camera when your phone is locked. With iOS 7, you can also swipe up for the Control Center, which contains frequently used settings and apps. That's available whether or not the phone is locked.

Swipe down from the top of the screen to get recent notifications and the day's highlights, including the weather, appointments, reminders and stock quotes. Swipe down from the center of any home screen for a search box. From many apps, you can swipe from the left or the right instead of tapping the left and right buttons.

The Control Center is the most useful of the functional improvements.

From there, you can turn Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off. Before, you had to find those switches in the settings. That would have come in handy for my flight to Silicon Valley last week for Apple's event introducing the new phones and software. Likewise, a Do Not Disturb feature is easier to access. It lets you silence incoming calls and messages, though you can make exceptions for certain numbers or for those calling repeatedly, in case there is a true emergency.
