Social Computing Using Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010
Social computing creates a powerful peer-level fabric that business leaders can control. It connects people through social and knowledge links, and it creates a tapestry of relationships, networks, and influence that are substantially distant and foreign from the administrative reporting structure.
Social Computing using Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 is a consulting offering designed to help organisations realise their goals of corporate social networking, collaborating on and sharing of ideas and knowledge, and expertise discovery amongst the talent that resides within the organisation. The Offering will provide guidance for the envisioning and planning of an enterprise Social Computing environment, and will provide support for envisioning, planning, build, and deploy.
Microsoft SharePoint Server is uniquely positioned to provide a solution that empowers partners, employees, and others in the value chain with tools to efficiently and effectively manage the sharing of ideas and overall networking. At the same time, Intervate brings breadth of experience from numerous engagements to help make sure that the Intervate solution is properly planned and deployed to meet the customer’s business needs.
This Intervate Offering provides a proven set of deliverables and methodologies, as well as Intervate best practices from multiple successful customer engagements, to aid in the planning and deployment of SharePoint as a Social Computing solution.
This Offering focuses on four leading scenarios:
Finding and connecting people, teams and expertise, collaborating socially, and organisation structure awareness
Enterprise community sites – blogging, wikis, discussion forums, organisational communications
Search as a social experience (who created what, how are they connected to me, relevance adjustment if they are closer or farther from me)
