Testimonials

“We evaluated some other social networking tools like Jive, and we played around with Yammer. We tried Ning and Chatter as well. But NewsGator just kept rising up to the top of our scoring. So we decided the social networking tool for eBay was going to be NewsGator built on SharePoint.”

- Ramin Mobasseri, Enterprise Portals Manager, eBay

“While out of the box, SharePoint is pretty good, NewsGator Social Sites just makes it awesome. We're finding that Social Sites is the critical glue in making it easy for our users to find information, share ideas, and collaborate with their peers. At the end of the day, Social Sites is wildly improving the ways we communicate across all parts of the organization.”

 - Bruce Wyman, Director of Technology, Denver Art Museum

“[Using Social Sites] increased awareness as people were able to join communities and interact. We’ve received explicit feedback from our users like:
I didn’t even realize there was a community of practitioners in that particular area.”

  - Kevin Dana, Director of Social Computing & Collaboration, Accenture

“Newsgator has added cohesiveness to the community by incorporating another level of communication to bind us all together. The discussion forums are very helpful in that you do not need to know specifically who to pinpoint when posting a question or idea. Having an established community of experts exposed at the first point of contact limits the forwarding of emails and keeps the communication flowing.”

 - PepsiCo Participant in a NewsGator Social Sites Pilot

“Now logisticians have access to advanced knowledge, the price of which we just can't quantify. Before LoGNet,the reality is that knowledge transfer was taking years. Now, valuable first-hand experience and information is transferred in a matter of days. Any given member has a network of thousands of mentors, which gives them the experience they need and helps us to drive innovation within the logistics profession in the U.S. Army.”

Communities

Make SharePoint social by turning your SharePoint groups into communities. Social Sites communities establish a setting for your internal and external stakeholders to collaborate. Whether forming social communities of practice for projects and initiatives, or creating a place for colleagues to connect about common interests or best practices – Social Sites makes SharePoint collaboration more social.
 
Users can easily create communities, join communities, and recommend communities. And once a community member, users can conduct ad-hoc conversations and search for and share knowledge.  Collaboration within online communities facilitates quick and informed decision making, decreases the time it takes to find the information people need to do their jobs, and enables people to locate expertise they might not have known existed otherwise. Improve your employee productivity, engagement, and retention with Social Sites communities - all within your SharePoint deployment.

We help you create internal communities that let you:

  • Connect
  • Discover
  • Accelerate
  • Share effort

Connecting with your customers, vendors, and partners has never been easier. Open the communication channels to solicit input, provide support, and strengthen your external relationships.

We facilitate external communities that allow you to:

  • Listen
  • Engage
  • Build community
  • Share your brand
  • Build a bridge

Our communities provide you with the following enterprise social networking features:

Simple SharePoint Community Creation

  • Easily-created social SharePoint communities for projects, interests, or activities
  • Community options for security (public or private), community name, URL, description, and tags
