Corporate intranets have been around for years, but is your company’s intranet as effective as you would like it to be? Is the content up to date? Are people easily able to find relevant colleagues and information?
In recent years, organizations have been embracing social software platforms to build a vibrant, social intranet spanning the whole enterprise. With easy to use social networking tools that mirror the experience they have on the consumer web, the intranet is becoming the place where work gets done. People can easily share information, freshen content and connect with colleagues in real-time. By integrating this social intranet with existing business systems, this is resulting in better communication and collaboration across departmental boundaries.
Next Wednesday (January 26), Socialtext customer the American Hospital Association (AHA) will share its experiences in deploying a social intranet enterprise wide in a webinar co-hosted with Forrester Research. AHA CIO Jack MacKay will highlight key motivations for deploying a social intranet, including what the business challenges were, what benefits they have achieved, and how they are integrating it with existing business processes and systems.
In addition, Forrester senior analyst Tim Walters will begin the webinar by highlighting key industry trends that have brought the social intranet to the forefront of many IT initiatives. Socialtext CEO Eugene Lee will serve as moderator, and there will be a time for Q&A with the audience members afterward.
