Need more internet on your intranet? Think SharePoint Solutions.
Social media has become a thing most corporations fear, big and small. Some have implemented safeties against the usage of many sites during working hours, some have made their employees sign contracts that they won’t get a profile, page, or site, and many others have even tried to send a message by terminating employees who may use it for less than stellar reviews of their work places, or something as mundane as complaining about an incident or person that proved stressful during their work day.
Other more innovative idealists running work spaces are embracing the world of the internet and all of the interaction that can happen. These companies are seeing their names in publication and on the news for taking the initiative and not only allowing their employees to network and maintain online friendships and familial ties, but encouraging the usage of these profiles for production and collection of data.
With SharePoint Collaboration you can have all of the features of your typical social networking sites, right on your intranet at the office. You can have built-in microblogging features like you see in Twitter or Facebook status updates. Think how much easier it would be for you to monitor a “trend” and see what people are talking about most within their work spaces. Usually the boss is the last to know about the problem, but with the SharePoint Solutions platform, you can know about it before it becomes a problem.
The companies who are seeing the most advancement in viewability and marketability throughout the online universe are not only the ones who allow their employees to maintain and utilize their social media pages, but the ones who invent their own! Whether you are selling hotdogs or rocket ships, getting your name out there is key to growth in any industry. Social marketing is not only when celebrities get paid to post that they like a particular product in 140 characters or less, but also when you are about to unveil a new product or service and let all of your “followers” know. Sure you can hire and fire marketing teams to make another stale commercial or radio spot, or you can simply have your assistant get online and say “Hey everyone! Stay tuned for a REALLY exciting announcement from our CEO! You won’t want to miss this!!!” and create some buzz that might reach an audience of your “followers” or “friends” or people who have “liked” your page, or even national media who will keep the excitement ball rolling. You may even become a “trend” which will bring even more people to your page to check out what is going on in the company you have built.
With the advent of social media, also came the absolute necessity of multi-tasking. With SharePoint Consulting you have the ability to not only multi-task, but automate. This frees up your hands, phone, computer, and brain from the mundane and allows you to concentrate on the work that really matters. “Autoconsulting” will create to-do lists for you, and it can also create wikis for your personal work usage, or even for the company to locate and add to. Think of all of the time you will save by automating timesheets, so no more signatures are needed or when you can utilize a resource locator instead of trying to track down a conference room for important clientele meetings.
So you see, the companies who are not only embracing corporate/social media but buying in to the buzz it can create are the ones who are profiting and automating. It makes for a happy environment, as well as a productive one.
