ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

St. Louis-based Connectria Hosting, a leading provider of Managed Lotus Services and the founder of the No Jerks Allowed® movement, today announced that Chris Miller, Director of Messaging & Collaboration, will be presenting at IBM ConnectED 2015. In addition to being a featured presenter, Miller has once again been recognized as an IBM Champion for Collaboration Solutions for a 5^th year running. He is one of the few honorees to hold the distinction every year since IBM Collaboration Solutions began the program in 2011.

The IBM ConnectED 2015 conference takes place January 25-28 in Orlando, Florida. The event allows the customer and business partner community to learn about the IBM collaboration solutions and digital experience via successful business strategies and use cases, see the solution roadmaps and participate in valuable sessions covering best practices in Cloud, Mobile and Social. It is designed for business leaders, technologists of all levels and all those who advocate for social or digital transformation within their organizations.

Miller will be presenting at two sessions: IBM Sametime Deployment Do's and Don'ts: Tips, Tricks, Perils and Pitfalls and Considerations for the Cloud. In each of these sessions, Miller will bring business leaders and IT managers a unique perspective on decisions necessary for deploying their individual solutions as well as tips on avoiding common pitfalls.

“In these sessions, we will take a look at mistakes that come to haunt you after you have begun roll-outs,” explains Miller. “At Connectria, I have visibility into so many varied deployments, both in the cloud and on a customer's own site. I hope that my experience will benefit attendees.”
