Socialtext Launches Business Social Software Solutions

Socialtext announced that it has built upon its wiki foundation to launch a broad set of Business Social Software solutions. Two of them, Socialtext Dashboard and Socialtext People, extend the wiki platform for people to gain additional insight by managing their information, conversations and connections. Socialtext also launched four core Solution Areas. Socialtext version 3.0 includes Socialtext Dashboard, personalized and customizable dashboards of internal and external social software activity. Socialtext Dashboard supports third party widgets, and the OpenSocial gadget standard. Socialtext 3.0 also provides significant enhancements to its open APIs for enterprise integration. In addition, Socialtext 3.0 includes Socialtext People, social networking adapted for the enterprise. Throughout the Socialtext wiki, Profiles are made visible so at any time you can pivot to the people behind the content. Profiles and a user directory make it easy for colleagues to introduce themselves and discover implicit and explicit expertise. People can subscribe to the activity of colleagues. Groupings enable users to declare interest and expertise on their profile and other users profiles, making group forming as simple as adding a tag. The four core Solution Areas are: Collaborative Intelligence for sales and marketing, Participatory Knowledgebase for service and support, Flexible Client Collaboration for professional services, and Business Social Networks for partners and customers. The two new enhancements to Socialtext are currently in Beta and will be commercially available within a quarter. http://www.socialtext.com
