OpenText announced a new release of OpenText Social Communities (version 8.1), designed to help companies promote and drive the shift to a social business model. It combines a comprehensive social framework with a set of applications for building and engaging communities. This new release builds on the security and governance of the OpenText ECM Suite to apply appropriate controls to social objects. This is designed to create a safe environment of dialogue to foster informal collaboration and networking to help improve internal collaboration. Social Communities now integrates with OpenText Wave, OpenText's Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP), which allows organizations to create, develop, and deliver mobile applications for employees, partners, and customers. Integration with OpenText Web and Social Analytics offers the ability to monitor and measure social activity. To help promote and manage sharing between public social networking sites into a community site, Social Communities now gives users the ability to post content from a community site to Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ and other social networks. Social Communities 8.1 provides a set of social applications for social intranet, social marketing and social workplace workloads. These are complemented by reusable and adaptable site templates with the flexibility to combine features as needed to meet specific goals, such as launching a brand, product or campaign. http://www.opentext.com
