Large organizations understand it’s important to bring social media and internal enterprise communications together. However, effective social communication is still hindered in most workplaces by an artificial separation between personal social media and enterprise communications.

Build a Collaborative Enterprise

The Hootsuite application for IBM Connections allows organizations to become truly social in the way they do business. Social content, thought leadership, and customer voices can flow fluidly into the enterprise and across departmental silos, connecting individuals in every team with the ideas and people that matter. Business professionals can shift seamlessly between their IBM Connections communities and external social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, leveraging every channel to gather information, collaborate, and develop relationships.

The Hootsuite application for IBM Connections, available now in the Hootsuite App Directory, enables joint customers of IBM Connections and Hootsuite Enterprise to:

  • Work more effectively by engaging with IBM Connections communities in Hootsuite alongside social network streams for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and more.
  • Save time by instantly sharing social content from Twitter and Facebook to colleagues and communities in IBM Connections.
  • Easily collaborate with your IBM Connections communities by posting and searching for content across all of your communities from within Hootsuite.

“With this integration, Hootsuite will bring external social content into IBM Connections – content that’s tremendously insightful for customer service, marketing, analytics and product development. IBM Connections in the Hootsuite dashboard provides a side-by-side view of what’s happening both internally and externally. Now, enterprises can align their collaborative efforts and never miss a beat.” – Kevin Zellmer, director of global enterprise business development
