Via Valleywag, news that IBM has opened up their corporate whitepages to the Internets, a huge step. Valleywag’s telling headline: “IBM employee directory mocks your company’s lameness.” But, perhaps, like IBM’s other progressive HR policies, this one will point the way for others.
Apparently IBM became lame as well, their directory is removed.
Meh, I have to disagree. You used to be able to look a person up via a country and determine their email address and phone. Now…it’s a labyrinth of “do you need a rep?” or “are you interested in cloud”…etc. NO! I just need the darn email and phone number of this specific lady, eg, “Jane Doe”. So imho, IBM has stepped BACK from openness. Now I have to rely on and wait for the info I need from my many IBM friends. Uber inefficient.
Yes you are correct. It stopped working this year. You must be an official IBM reseller or end user customer.
