Enterprise 2.0
Professional services for microsharing within the enterprise.
We conduct research, test pilots, consulting and implementations that use microsharing as a social network and collaborative tool to connect employees.
Internal Collaboration and Communication
There’s a lot of talk about “Twitter in the Enterprise” and many tool developers are building applications to deploy behind the firewall, but little is known about user uptake and promotion adoption. Our multidisciplinary practice guides client and tool vendor through the implementation process to make the application function effectively and engage new users organically.
