“Social media” and “social networks” are all the buzz right now, but for good reason, especially in conversations about enterprise portals and collaboration.
Many experts are addressing how social media & networking impacts enterprise system installations and strategy. Here are just a few recent articles on the topic:
- Successful social CRM looks back to get ahead
- The Enterprise Data Cloud: Why Information Power Is The Future of Business
- Social networking giving e-mail run for its money in biz space
This quote from a recent article captures the benefits of portal software in integrating social networking benefits into other Enterprise IT needs:
“Portals are considered a single point of access for presentation-level integration of information, but there’s also collaboration, Web content management and search components, and increasingly workflow business process and business intelligence components.
‘It’s evolved into a Swiss Army knife-type market,’ said Al Hilwa, IDC’s program director of applications development software. ‘This is something Microsoft has capitalized on. One might even say they’ve led that by integrating a lot of functionality into SharePoint.'”
Perficient is hosting a webinar next week in which our Principal of Portal Solutions, Mike Porter, will take a deeper look at how portal solutions are addressing business needs when it comes to collaboration, content management and the benefits of social integration.
