Deployment Options

Social Sites makes Microsoft SharePoint even more social with social networking features that include numerous deployment options - whether it is SharePoint cloud computing, on premise, or a hybrid approach. No matter how you deploy Social Sites, NewsGator continues to deliver the best enterprise collaboration software for business by going above and beyond SharePoint to make your organization truly social – with improved microblogging, a smart activity stream, a full range of mobile clients, ideation, badging, expertise discovery, video, rich social insights, and much more.

By integrating Social Sites directly into your SharePoint collaboration deployment, you can focus on delivering value to your users and unifying your technology infrastructure while fully leveraging your SharePoint social network – instead of building custom applications or learning and supporting additional technologies. Increase adoption among stakeholders, streamline communication, improve employee recruiting and retention, and boost overall productivity with Social Sites.

NewsGator offers flexible deployment options for Social Sites to best meet your business needs - through SharePoint cloud computing, on premise, or a hybrid approach.

On premise:

Social Sites is primarily deployed on premise; however, that trend is starting to change with Microsoft SharePoint cloud computing options. For many companies, the main benefit of building and supporting their software deployments on premise is to control and supervise the security of their data. Depending on the size of your company and your industry, deploying Social Sites on premise may be your best option; however, we recommend that you evaluate a cloud-based deployment to compare costs, short and long-term goals, and IT and security requirements.

In the cloud:

As Microsoft Office 365 progresses, cloud-based deployments will continue to grow. NewsGator understands the benefits of cloud computing – agility, accessibility, flexibility, and efficiency – and works with each customer individually to support its business needs and objectives. This includes the option of creating a hybrid approach that supports security, control, and scalability goals.
