IBM Lotus Symphony

IBM Lotus Symphony consists of:

• IBM Lotus Symphony Documents, a word processor program
• IBM Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets, a spreadsheet program
• IBM Lotus Symphony Presentations, a presentation program
• A Web browser based on Firefox 3{{cite magazine|access-date=16 May 2012|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387439,00.asp|magazine=PC Magazine|date=22 June 2011|first=Edward|last=Mendelson |author-link=Edward Mendelson|title=IBM Lotus Symphony 3.0}}

Each application is split into tabs.

Symphony supports the OpenDocument formats as well as the binary Microsoft Office formats.{{cite web| url=http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/help.nsf/ReleaseNotes| title=What's new in IBM Lotus Symphony 3| publisher=IBM| date=21 October 2010| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090710011646/http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/help.nsf/ReleaseNotes| archive-date=10 July 2009}} It can also export Portable Document Format (PDF) files and import Office Open XML files. Previous support for Lotus SmartSuite formats was disabled in Symphony 3.

Symphony is based on Eclipse Rich Client Platform from IBM Lotus Expeditor (the shell) and OpenOffice.org 3 (the core office-suite code).

A web based version of Symphony, called LotusLive Symphony, was launched in 2011.

Symphony has its roots in the IBM Workplace Managed Client component of IBM Workplace. In 2006, IBM introduced Workplace Managed Client version 2.6, which included "productivity tools"—a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation program—that supported ODF.

The software was developed by IBM China Development Laboratory, located in Beijing,[http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Ibm-NYSE-IBM-812047.html IBM Translates Lotus Symphony for a Globally Integrated World] which later for a brief time developed Apache OpenOffice.

There were complaints that IBM and the Apache Software Foundation did not really provide an open source release of the Lotus Symphony code, although IBM promised to donate the code to Apache. It was reported that some LibreOffice developers wanted to adopt some code parts and bug fixes which IBM already fixed in their OpenOffice fork.{{Cite web|url=https://lwn.net/Articles/532665/|access-date=9 February 2013|title=A discordant symphony|publisher=LWN.net|first=Jonathan|last=Corbet|date=16 January 2013}}File:IBM Lotus Docs.png

During the Lotusphere event in 2009, IBM confirmed its cost-reduction effort using Lotus Symphony, with the company migrating its 400,000 users from Microsoft Office to Lotus Symphony.
