NewsGator Deepens Relationship with Microsoft & Reaches New Milestone

NewsGator is proud to cite strong momentum in the growing enterprise social computing market, and report that over one million paid business users now take advantage of its Social Sites enterprise social computing solution; Social Sites helps a wide range of organizations harness the value of social computing.  For example, NewsGator counts the top five pharma/biotech firms as Social Sites customers, including Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research.

NewsGator Social Sites creates a business-class enterprise social computing environment for streamlined performance. When coupled with the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 collaboration foundation, it adds Facebook -like features for business, including networking, user profiling, people and content search, community creation, social bookmarking, activity streams, social graphing and robust reporting.

Indeed, as NewsGator CEO and President J.B. Holston says, "the sheer efficiency of connecting experts across organizations, fostering instantaneous collaboration, and organizing knowledge as it’s created argue overwhelmingly for enterprise social computing as the new standard operating system for business. Our customer success demonstrates that social computing isn’t just for early adopters anymore, and NewsGator is well-positioned to help more companies get their social computing environments up and running quickly and efficiently.”

Finally, NewsGator is honored to have recently been named a “depth-managed” independent software vendor (ISV) partner by Microsoft.  Such status is achieved by fewer than three percent of Microsoft partners. This affirms NewsGator as a strategic business partner in one of the most important, fastest-growing markets for Microsoft.
