Adding A Social Layer To Your Existing Business
Valuable information is locked inside business systems like SharePoint, CRM, and Intranets across an organization, making people communicate in one system, and work in another. This causes the communication of data, information and people to become fragmented, inaccessible or delayed. Socialcast empowers workers to experience an uninterrupted flow of conversations and ideas, connecting people to the information they need to get more meaning out of their work.  The end-to-end integration of a structured social layer into existing business systems is the core of what makes the Socialcast solution uniquely powerful—people remain focused on their work and achieve the highest quality results in less time. Integrating a social layer into the fabric of how business gets done on a daily basis is fundamentally changing everything about the way companies organize, lead, manage, produce, sell, market and deliver products and services to market.
