Enterprise Social Networking Provider Launches Socialcast 2.0 to Capture and Manage Information for Global Organizations

Social networking software flattens corporate hierarchies, retains generations of knowledge

Irvine, CA and Enterprise 2.0, Boston, MA - June 09, 2008

Socialcast, a leading provider of on-demand corporate social networks, announced a major upgrade to its corporate social networking software. Socialcast 2.0 now features the ability for users to integrate with third party services, such as Twitter and YouTube, an updated user-interface and more intuitive resources. As a result, enterprises nationwide are able to leverage information across their organizations and tap into the collective resources provided by employees at every level.

Socialcast 2.0 bridges the gap between younger generations of workers and retiring professionals while simultaneously flattening organizational hierarchy. Built on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, the company powers corporate knowledge management that melds the traditional intranet with the social network. Socialcast deploys customized social networking sites for companies including Hot Topic, a national retailer of alternative music related apparel and accessories. Additionally, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently launched a Socialcast pilot program as a social networking solution officially funded and piloted by NASA’s Chief Information Officer. Implementations are completed in as little as two weeks and Socialcast provides complete training for customers’ staff members.

Socialcast 2.0 features collaboration tools, an idea exchange, questions & answers, and search functions as well as the ability for users to import their activity from third-party services including Del.icio.us, Digg, Google Reader, Google Talk, Last.fm, LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube and Blog Integration.

Executive quote

“We focus on tacit knowledge, not document storage,” said Timothy Young, CEO at Socialcast. “Our mission is to allow enterprises to leverage their most powerful resource – the collective intelligence of their employees – and Socialcast 2.0 enables open communication across entire organizations, regardless of geographic location.”

Analyst quote

"Enterprises are identifying a growing and urgent need to capture and manage the knowledge and information held by employees, especially when it relates to turnover and the emergence of a newer workforce," said Brian Kotlyar, analyst at Yankee Group. "Companies like Socialcast address this demand with a corporate knowledge management tool that not only collects and retains materials but integrates all levels of employees into the corporate culture and affirms the value of each individual worker, regardless of title or salary."
