IBM Lotus SmartSuite

SmartSuite is a discontinued office suite from Lotus Software.

The company made versions of its office suite for IBM OS/2 and Microsoft Windows.

In July 2012 the price for a user licence of Lotus SmartSuite 9.8 was US-$342.00 when purchased directly through the IBM website.

Marketing of the product ended in June 2013, followed by all support ceasing in September 2014.

In his finding of facts in United States v. Microsoft, Judge Jackson determined that because of IBM's marketing of Lotus SmartSuite, and other alternatives to Microsoft products (like World Book electronic encyclopedia instead of Microsoft's Encarta[12]), Microsoft "punished the IBM PC Company with higher prices, a late license for Windows 95, and the withholding of technical and marketing support.
