Giving Back
We believe that all businesses should strive to promote, support, and give back to the entire business community. Here at Group Business Software (GBS), we are always seeking the community’s best interest, as evidenced by our continued support through donations of money and resources. Additionally, our consultants are asked regularly to speak at local and national events. We are the largest supporter of Lotusphere, as well as local country events. We encourage all our employees to participate in industry forums, blogs, and community service. Our teams are known for contributing free code and solutions for general use in the community.
One of our newest initiatives is a GBS College, which is a program that will educate college students on Lotus technologies. The purpose of this initiative is to ensure a steady stream of talent into the industry while granting students invaluable job experience.
Below are some of the social media forums in which we participate:
USER GROUPS
LotusUserGroup.org supports the worldwide community of
Lotus technology professionals, which includes regional and virtual user groups, customers, business partners, vendors, IBM staff, developers, consultants, and other related Lotus professionals.
