Delivering Web 2.0 Business Value With SharePoint – March 24 Webinar

Would you like to harness the benefits of Web 2.0 internally but lack a large budget? Does your organization already leverage SharePoint for internal business processes? Would you like to learn how SharePoint can be used to achieve your social computing goals?

According to a February 2009 McKinsey report, enterprises’ investment in social computing is expected to grow by more than 15 percent annually over the next five years, despite the current recession. To obtain the most value from such Web 2.0 implementations, it is important that social computing features are integrated with an enterprise’s existing business processes and technology environment.

With inherent social features, an extensive set of APIs and simple integration points, SharePoint offers a powerful foundation on which to deploy your internal Web 2.0 features. This foundation coupled with web parts and social applications from Microsoft’s partner ecosystem enable you to affordably implement a full featured social computing platform that delivers true business value.

Join Microsoft, Edelman, and NewsGator to gain a better understanding of how to leverage SharePoint as your enterprise’s core social computing platform. Topics that we will cover during the webinar include:

• An overview of SharePoint’s social computing platform capabilities
• A review of NewsGator Social Sites’ web parts and social applications
• Case study examples of how to socialize existing business processes for improved results

The webinar takes place on March 24, 2009 at 2 pm ET, you can register here.
