By Melissa Risteff, August 18, 2009

BattelleSCImg A little over a year ago the questions around enterprise social computing, were focused on understanding what it entails and how to prove the business value. Fast forward a year and the questions now center around: how do we make it work, how do we get people to use it and what are best practices?

NewsGator has a wealth of experience and lessons learned around enterprise social computing deployment, adoption and best practices. However we thought you would like to hear from one of our customers! Battelle, a $5.2B research and development company that uses SharePoint and NewsGator Social Sites as their social computing platform, will share their story, experience and best practices around communities .
