Business
organizations these days are constantly striving to build a transparent and
pervasive network for all their employees in order to facilitate better
corporate communication. Keeping this challenge under consideration, cloud
software juggernaut Salesforce recently showcased an
ingenious new product called Company Communities that is designed to overcome
the one-dimensional, limited nature of corporate intranets.
It aims to bring a much-needed
personalized experience by putting a strong emphasis on the mobile and social
features of corporate communication models.Salesforce hopes these features will encourage and enthrall
employees in their work. Just like smoking Saffire
Vapor from your
e-cigs is a much healthier option than smoking cigarettes, Company Communities promises
to deliver exactly the same kind of efficient functionality for your corporate
communication platform.
How Company Communities Is Better
Than Your Corporate Intranet
Recent research studies have shown that nearly 80% of
employees in major organizations get their own mobile device for work, and 68%
of them are actively using it for social purposes in the workforce. Hence, the
demand for corporate mobile apps has drastically shot up, since employees feel their
work efficiency is maximized with the help of these tools.
Company
Communities is aimed particularly at businesses that heavily invest in
corporate intranet services, but are held back due to the poor participation
levels of their employees. It takes a departure from the mundane and highly
formal corporate communication model and engages employees on the social front.
This is accomplished with the help of a diverse set of Android, iOS and Windows
apps that are tailor-made to give your network of employees the best possible
social interaction platform.
Many cloud
experts and established Salesforce customers have called Corporate Communities
a deeper extension of its popular enterprise-networking platform, known as Chatter.Company Communities does indeed capture the essence of
Chatter; however, it takes its service to a whole another level with the help
of a nifty set of tools that helps you accomplish the following tasks with
great finesse:
· Efficient Distribution of Content –
Your employees can now publish, review, approve and upgrade content they intend
to share with certain co-workers according to their organizational roles.
· Engaging Experts – The
provision of a social profile for all employees ensures that anyone can easily
interact and seek information from other employees whose field of expertise
matches with the content required.
· Proficient Teamwork – Corporate
Communities allows all employees to conveniently access and share content as
well as obtain suitable advice on it. It facilitates better collaboration on
work projects and helps you assign them to the right experts in your organization.
· A Rich World of Apps –Salesforce provides
access to a strong suit of corporate apps as well as third-party tools that can
easily be downloaded by employees to cater to their specific work requirements.
