NewsGator Customers Already Using SharePoint 2010 with NewsGator Social Sites

By Melissa Risteff, May 12, 2010

Fleishman HillardToday is the day of the much anticipated official launch of Microsoft SharePoint 2010. NewsGator is proud to not only announce our support of Microsoft’s new collaboration platform, but to congratulate the many NewsGator customers who have already committed to Social Sites on SharePoint 2010. One such example is Fleishman-Hillard – a huge global leader in strategic communications – and an early adopter of social computing. Fleishman-Hillard is blazing a trail by not only using SharePoint 2010, but maximizing the benefits of the implementation with NewsGator Social Sites.

Fleishman-Hillard’s CIO stated in today’s news release, “With the combination of SharePoint Server 2010 and Social Sites 2010, we can more effectively apply the power of social computing to our most important business objective – delivering great results for our clients. This technology will make it much easier for our global team to access the very best of our firm’s experience and expertise and transform those assets into winning solutions for our clients.” That’s powerful. And we’re honored to count Fleishman-Hillard as a client.

NewsGator worked with another Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Aspect, to design and deploy Fleishman-Hillard’s updated social network – which now offers capabilities like enterprise microblogging, iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry mobile access, and comprehensive activity streams.  Aspect has been a fantastic partner.

We look forward to helping more organizations discover the ROI of NewsGator Social Sites coupled with SharePoint 2010!
