8 Apps to Help Your Enterprise Organization Scale Social Media

Chances are your organization relies on a range of software solutions to run more efficiently.

The days of large organizations being locked into a single, all-encompassing software program to run all mission-critical processes are long gone.

So, if the social media solution you rely on works seamlessly with the tools other teams use, it makes everyone’s workday run just a little smoother. And because your teams are already familiar with these solutions, your IT and training budgets get a break.

So, in no particular order, here are eight apps to help your enterprise-sized organization scale social seamlessly.

1. Collaboration: Slack

Slack has quickly become a favorite collaboration tool for organizations of all sizes, helping people get things done.

The Slack app for Hootsuite is a great way to collaborate around social. It lets your teams send social media posts directly to a specific Slack channel, user, or group right from the Hootsuite dashboard, making it easy to keep everyone in the loop.

You can even capture relevant social information for each message, and add sentiment and a comment along with each post.

2. Content Sharing: Google Drive

If your organization already relies on Google Drive, this app is a must-have. It lets users view, sort, and search for Google Drive files right from within Hootsuite. That means everyone who’s working with your social media accounts can share the same secure access to a single location for all approved brand assets, images, and other files.

Plus, you can include Google Drive as a destination when you post to social, automatically creating an archive of your all of your social posts in one easy-to-access location.
