A vote for the social enterprise

Within any organization, collaboration is key. People want to engage, to be involved in the process, to share opinions and shape important business decisions. An idea developed alone can go a long way, but one shaped by consensus speaks for more and reveals more — enabling people across all ranks of the organization to bounce ideas off of one another, and to innovate and collaborate in a system that is more inclusive and more profitable.

Now, NewsGator has released its latest feature to facilitate internal collaboration. New to Social Sites 2010, “polls” enable users to cast their vote on important topics, share their own opinion, or just see what the rest of their connected world thinks.
Users can now set optional answers on a question, transforming the question into a poll to foster increased employee collaboration on important projects and business decisions. Users check the box corresponding to the poll answer they want directly within the Activity Stream.

After any one of the choices has been selected, the poll will re-order the display of choices from most-selected to least-selected options, providing a simpler way to measure opinions and evaluate responses to actions taken in the system. Also, to make poll results more accessible to the user, the activity stream now contains a specific polls filter, immediately displaying all public polls and all polls in private communities or spheres that a specific user is following. To see the polling feature in action, check out the short polling video on the NewsGator YouTube page.

Cast your vote. Choose NewsGator’s enhanced Social Sites 2010 computing solution and watch as “polls” and other new exciting features streamline your company’s internal processes, increase employee satisfaction, and boost overall company productivity.
