Support Spontaneous Collaboration with a Sphere

Collaboration and internal group communications are often spontaneous; a quick brainstorm of ideas or an ad hoc clustering of people focused on a topic or problem. For this type of agile collaboration you don’t need a long-term, full-scale community with full document handling capability – you need a Sphere!

NewsGator Social Sites 2010 lets users quickly pull together a public or private group using distribution lists or active directory groups. Tapping into SharePoint audiences, Sphere users can easily gather the right group of people as followers to be part of the conversation – without the need of involving IT.

Since Spheres are all about agility and being flexible in a fast paced environment, simple administration of ownership is vital and easier than ever. A Sphere administrator gets a new tab in the management user interface providing them with the ability to change the ownership of a Sphere as needed. This new admin feature makes a Sphere more able to fulfill its intended function – empowering a workforce with more internal mobility whereby creating a collaborative environment that moves as quickly as your business.

Are there instances when self-created and administered breakout groups like Spheres would make sense for your organization?
