In most companies the inhibitor to social networking etc. it not technology availability, it is conservative thinking in management. IBM has long had particularly liberal stance about such things internally. IF (big IF!) it can combine what Lotus can supply with using internal experience to change customer's thinking - all parties can do well from the deal.
The problem is that many customers probably never see what IBM does internally and most IBMers never think to show them or talk about it.
If you are an IBM customer - ask them! All IBMers can readily VPN into their internal network and show you what can be done there (even though not all of them actually know!)
