NewsGator Named One of KMWorld's 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management

By Melissa Risteff, March 09, 2010
KM_100 NewsGator was recently named to KMWorld’s 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management. This is the second year in a row that NewsGator has been afforded this honor and recognition, and it’s one we’re proud to have again received.

NewsGator’s recent acquisition of Tomoye furthers our leadership in the knowledge management space, as we complement our existing leadership in enterprise social computing with an expanded focus on offering similar solutions to government entities. Indeed, NewsGator now has more than 2.1 million paid enterprise social computing users overall, more than any other social computing vendor.

As KMWorld Editor in Chief, Hugh McKellar, explains, “in today’s knowledge economy, NewsGator does more than simply throw sophisticated technology at its customers, it provides real solutions through inspired planning and execution throughout the entire constituency chain.”

NewsGator Social Sites is a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that is built directly into SharePoint, and includes online communities, microblogging, innovation management, expertise discovery,  activity streams, and more; these tools provide wide-ranging business benefits, including increased collaboration and communication among employees and with customers and partners, better knowledge capture and management, and increased business innovation and productivity. 

It is an honor to once again be listed among the top 100 influential companies in the knowledge management space by KMWorld, and we believe this further validates our position, innovation, and influence in the marketplace.
