Knowledge transfer

Create lasting knowledge bases:

Have you ever wasted a large portion of your day just trying to locate something inside your company portal? Unfortunately most internal content is not easily discoverable. NewsGator Social Sites was designed to help you get your work done by giving you access to easily post, discover, and search valuable peer-generated content through Knowledge Base creation.

Whether it’s a global Knowledge Base, a Knowledge Base within a community, or a colleague’s personal Knowledge Base, access the information you need to do your job in a more organized, fully searchable manner. And in instances where you discover content that you’ll know you’ll want to leverage again, spin up a knowledge base to turn a short-lived activity in your stream into a longer-lasting knowledge base item that can be easily edited and expanded upon over time. Your knowledge base items are also searchable by others, helping to facilitate knowledge transfer and provide greater benefit across your entire organization.

On-demand learning

Leverage video for scenario based learning:

Social collaboration proves to be the most productive way to drive enablement across the organization. As video becomes more popular and easier to create, it’s a unique way for organizations to encourage the creation of informal, user-generated training materials. Social Sites allows you to use video to develop problem-solving scenarios in order to foster peer-to-peer collaboration to extract further knowledge on how to solve complex issues.
