HCL Connections for iPhone download

Brief description

HCL Connections (formerly IBM Connections) is a social-collaboration platform for business networking. The mobile client lets employees connect to their organization’s Connections server from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch so they can work and stay informed while away from their desk.

Core capabilities

Create and participate in Communities to collaborate with teams and groups.
Maintain Profiles to find and connect with colleagues and subject-matter experts.
Store and exchange Files (documents, presentations, images) securely with coworkers.
Track project items and to-dos using Activities to monitor progress.
Publish and read Blogs and Wikis to share knowledge and influence peers.
Save and manage Bookmarks to keep everyone aligned on important resources.
Post status updates, share news and links across your network in real time.
View and print documents, spreadsheets, and presentations via AirPrint.

To connect the app to your company’s Connections server you will need:

Your user ID and password
The full URL of the Connections server

When you launch the app it will request these credentials and the server address so it can establish a session.

Help and escalation

If you encounter problems as an end user, contact your organization’s IT help desk for initial troubleshooting.
Connections administrators who cannot resolve an issue locally can open a support case through HCL’s customer support portal.

Printing and device considerations

The app supports viewing and printing of supported file types through AirPrint. Note that enabling GPS services for the app in the background may noticeably shorten battery life, so disable continuous location access if you want to conserve power.

Alternative to consider

MyYoufone — Belgique (Free): a lightweight alternative available for Belgian users that may suit teams seeking a different approach to mobile business communication and basic collaboration features.
