IBM Connections 2016 focused on integrating Connections and Verse into a single interface, bringing key features from each to a unified experience. New features included a card-based mail interface, persistent calendar access, and the ability to see interactions across the social platform. Cognitive computing through Watson added capabilities like tone analysis to emails. The conference also previewed Project Toscana as a potential Slack competitor and outlined roadmaps for Notes, Domino, Verse and Connections to incorporate latest technologies and improve support for modern devices and platforms.

Cognitive Watson Adds Tone Analysis for Verse Demonstrates one of many ways in which cognitive computing (Watson) can be applied to add value to mail.
SmarterCalendars Analysis of meetings and their health accompanied by recommendations
PersonalAssistant Recommendation on how best to handle meeting conflicts based upon an analysis of attendees
PersonalAssistant Identification of key text turned into single click actions
PersonalAssistant Identifies potential matches stored in cloud file store Message text linked to a potential action Message text linked to a potential action
