WebSphere and Domino (together with all the Lotus Collaboration tools based around Domino) each offer unique capabilities in helping you build robust Web sites.

One of the significant growth areas in IBM, and for most customers, has been commerce between companies or business-to-business (B2B) commerce. B2B commerce requires a much greater need for relationships and collaborative technologies (such as Web conferencing and "chat") to facilitate purchasing for large, complex transactions between teams of people. In addition, sites with just transactional capabilities are realizing that they could increase the amount and frequency of purchasing by assisting transactions.
