 h1. IBM Software Group
  
 [IBM Software Group|http://www.ibm.com/software/] (SWG), part of [IBM Corp.|IBM Corporation],&nbsp;is composed of five brands:
 | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/im_mark.gif!|http://www.ibm.com/software/data|DB2] | *Information management: software for storing application data* \\
  | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/im_mark.gif|alt="im mark image"!|http://www.ibm.com/software/data|DB2] | *Information management: software for storing application data* \\
 These are the database products like [DB2|http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/], [IMS|http://www.ibm.com/software/data/ims/], [Informix|http://www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/], and [Cloudscape|http://www.ibm.com/software/data/cloudscape/]. And here's an interesting product: [IBM Electronic Media Management System|http://www.ibm.com/software/data/emms/] (EMMS). |
| [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/lot_mark.gif!|Lotus Brand|Lotus] | *Collaboration tools: software that'll make you work with your colleagues* \\
  | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/lot_mark.gif|alt="lotus mark image"!|Lotus Brand|Lotus] | *Collaboration tools: software that'll make you work with your colleagues* \\
 These products include the groundbreaking [Lotus Notes|http://www.lotus.com/products/product4.nsf/wdocs/noteshomepage], which uses the [Lotus Domino|http://www.ibm.com/lotus/domino] server, [Lotus Sametime|http://www.lotus.com/sametime], and [IBM Workplace|http://www.lotus.com/products/product5.nsf/wdocs/workplacehome]. |
| [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/rtl_mark.gif!|Rational|Rational] | *Software development tools: software for building applications* \\
  | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/rtl_mark.gif|alt="rational mark image"!|Rational|Rational] | *Software development tools: software for building applications* \\
 Rational has [tools for architects and developers|http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/sw-bycategory/subcategory/SW710.html], [tools for SCM|http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/sw-bycategory/subcategory/SW750.html], [testing tools|http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/sw-bycategory/subcategory/SW730.html], and so on. They even [still support Ada|http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/developer/ada/index.html]. (Is [Ada|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_programming_language] still used? Guess so.) |
| [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/tiv_mark.gif!|http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli|Tivoli] | *Management software: software for monitoring applications* \\
  | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/tiv_mark.gif|alt="tivoli mark image"!|http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli|Tivoli] | *Management software: software for monitoring applications* \\
 Tivoli has products for security like [Tivoli Access Manager|http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/access-mgr-e-bus/], storage management like [IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Application Servers|http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr-app-servers/], and systems management like [IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for WebSphere Application Server|http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/omegamon-xe-was/]. |
 | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/ws_mark.gif!|WebSphere|WebSphere] | *Middleware for application infrastructure and integration: software for running applications* \\
  | [!http://www.ibm.com/software/main/img/com/ws_mark.gif|alt="websphere mark image"!|WebSphere|WebSphere] | *Middleware for application infrastructure and integration: software for running applications* \\
 This includes servers like [WebSphere Application Server] and [WebSphere Portal Server], application integration middleware like [WebSphere MQ] and [WebSphere Message Broker], and business integration software like [WebSphere Process Server] and [WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus]. |
 So the idea is:
 | *Build* | You develop your applications using *[Rational]* products. |
 | *Deploy* | Your applications run in/on/using *[WebSphere]* products. |
 | *Manage* | Your applications store and manage their data using *DB2* products. |
 | *Monitor* | You monitor your applications while they're running using *Tivoli* products. |
 | *Collaborate* | You collaborate with your co-workers using [*Lotus* products|Lotus Brand]. |

 You may also be interested in tips for working with [IBM support|IBM Software Support]. You can get help from your peers on the [developerWorks Discussion Forums|developerWorks Discussion Forums].
  
 IBM provides a ton of freely available documentation for developers on [developerWorks]. Early versions of new technology are made available on [alphaWorks].
  
 One of the main trends in SWG these days is implementing the *[*IBM take on SOA*|IBM SOA]*.
