Recently, IBM announced that it will be teaming with Linden Labs (creator of Second Life) to develop "enterprise solutions for security-rich, custom virtual world creation and collaboration" using the Second Life Grid platform.
This new solution will allow businesses and organizations to create private or public virtual environments. Basically, businesses can benefit from Second Life's virtual environment platform without the unwanted exposure that public 3D worlds present. Businesses can use this new platform to train employees, collaborate with partners and consumers, hold corporate meetings/events, compose product simulations, and much more.
Second Life Grid provides the corporate world with an alternative to Protosphere in the 3D marketplace. Businesses will be able to create custom environments, as in Second Life. Second Life Grid will allow businesses the freedom of creation and use that Protosphere limits for its users in the corporate environment.

I would love to be a fly on the wall at an IBM meeting where employees are learning how to create avatars!
