Lotus Software
Lotus Software (called Lotus Development Corporation before its acquisition by IBM) was an American software company based in Massachusetts; it was "offloaded" to India's HCL Technologies in 2018. Lotus is most commonly known for the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application, the first feature-heavy, user-friendly, reliable and WYSIWYG-enabled product to become widely available in the early days of the IBM PC, when there was no graphical user interface. Much later, in conjunction with Ray Ozzie's Iris Associates, Lotus also released a groupware and email system, Lotus Notes. IBM purchased the company in 1995 for US$3.5 billion, primarily to acquire Lotus Notes and to establish a presence in the increasingly important client–server computing segment, which was rapidly making host-based products such as IBM's OfficeVision obsolete.

Lotus (Elisa Album)
''Lotus'' is the fourth studio album by Elisa, released in 2003. Initially idealized as a live album, Lotus became a mix between a studio album (with six new songs), a greatest hits album (due to the seven songs re-recorded from previous albums) and a cover album (three are the covers). The album is predominantly acoustic; following the initial idea, in fact, the album was completely recorded live. The album starts with a cover version of Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" from his 1984 album ''Various Positions''. "Sleeping in Your Hand", "Labyrinth" and "The Marriage" are taken from Elisa's 1997 debut album '' Pipes & Flowers'', while "Gift" and "Luce (tramonti a nord est)" are from her second album ''Asile's World'', and "Rock Your Soul" and "Stranger" are from her third album ''Then Comes the Sun''. All of them were revisited in acoustic version, really in contrast with the initial forms. " Femme Fatale" is a cover of a song from The Velvet Underground's first album, ''The Velv ...
