The rapid proliferation of consumer social networking (CSN) services such as Twitter and Facebook has paved a new way for users around the world to interact and communicate. Global organizations have seen the widespread interest, rapid uptake and potential benefit of these new tools and are seeking to adopt them for business use. However, while many organizations have embraced CSN as a media strategy for branding and lead-generation purposes, most are still struggling to figure out ways to harness Web 2.0 technologies for their own ESN applications. This is due to the fact that essentially all of the now familiar first generation social media tools are focused on an individual's ability to network with friends, family and acquaintances, not on companies, organizations, or project teams trying to achieve work-oriented objectives and goals.
The Clearvale(TM) solution is specifically designed to address this problem. Leveraging BroadVision's 16-year history of knowledge and experience in designing, delivering and deploying enterprise portals, Clearvale has been innovatively engineered to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-use, ESN service delivered in a social portal. Users are able to quickly and effortlessly set up team or business networks, create profiles, and then select from a wide range of standard and premium services as necessary for their work. An open environment, Clearvale also provides users with the ability to implement certified third-party applications, while maintaining the reliability, scalability, performance and security required of traditional enterprise software solutions.
"After a thorough examination of other products, including Ning and SocialText, Clearvale offered us security, functionality we were seeking with easy setup, and a dynamic interface," says Dusty Fisher, Communications and Marketing Online Manager at Exampla Healthcare. "We know the Residents and Faculty in our Graduate Medical Program will find the features and customization effortless."
Clearvale enables companies to better utilize Web 2.0 social technologies by integrating team-based collaborative services such as document management, productivity tools, workflow, and knowledge management. Users can accomplish their tasks and increase productivity through more socialized ways of working, increasing the participation, collaboration and interaction of team members, thereby tapping the wider potential contribution of knowledge workers across and beyond the organization.
"Collaboration can be supported in new ways, among customers, partners and teams," says Nikos Drakos, Research Director at Gartner. "Improving intra-organizational and inter-organizational communications with people and groups that may not be able to physically interact is the ultimate goal," he continues. "Organizations need to look at new and innovative ways of making this happen."(1)
The solution also provides IT departments the means of offering an enterprise-class Web 2.0 portal environment for business users, complete with a broad selection of tools, from BroadVision, a Company with well-established enterprise portal experience that they can trust. This reduces the need for the selection, procurement, implementation and maintenance of disparate Web 2.0 tools from multiple vendors, each designed to deliver only specific and limited functionality, and most with unproven enterprise experience.
"Clearvale has completely transformed the way we work here at BroadVision, a global company operating in more than 20 geographies, serving thousands of enterprise customers and partners," says Dr. Pehong Chen, President and CEO. "Since implementing the solution across our entire enterprise ecosystem, we've experienced a significant rise in team collaboration and productivity amongst ourselves and with our customers/partners. Everyone now has much better visibility into the business, can appreciate what colleagues are saying or doing, how projects are tracking, where issues are occurring, and can witness and participate in idea creation and problem solving -- all in real time. There is no question that through Clearvale we have forged a stronger company with a more collaborative culture."
