This document discusses different integration scenarios for connecting applications to IBM Connections. It begins with a "buzzword bingo" section on common IBM terms. Then it outlines scenarios like integrating an application's header UI, using iWidgets to embed UIs in Connections areas, and using the Social Business Toolkit to programmatically access Connections data. Specific examples are provided for embedding a custom widget in a Connections community using iWidgets components and APIs. The document aims to demonstrate how third-party applications can integrate with Connections.
