Innovative New Features Enable People With Different Email Domains to
Participate in a Clearvale Network in a Secure, Controlled Manner
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and LONDON, 2012-03-13 10:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
BroadVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:BVSN), a global leader in social business solutions,
today announced at the Digital London Summit that the Clearvale(tm) enterprise
social networking platform now provides the ability to create hybrid networks.
With this release, Clearvale allows networks to be private, semi-private, and
public, while handling issues germane to business-to-business,
business-to-consumer, and business-to-employee, simultaneously. This enables
businesses to collaborate effectively and securely across networks in order to
mirror real world business relationships.
The new Guest feature for Clearvale provides organizations with the ability to
invite participants from different organizations to collaborate seamlessly and
securely. Guests can be discretely visible across the network or only in
specific workspaces within the network. Network administrators can choose
whether or not Guests can be invited to the network or to specific workspaces,
providing total control over how such a hybrid network is to be used.
Zones and Conduits are new collaborative workspaces within a Clearvale hybrid
network where the company can conduct business with multiple entities, such as
suppliers, customers, or partners either publically (using Zones) or privately
(using Conduits). In addition to the Network Homepage as the common forum for
everyone, the company can leverage Zones to create specialized workspaces for
more targeted messaging and interactions with Guests. Conduits, on the other
hand, can be utilized for more in-depth communication and collaboration with
specific Guests in a totally private setting.
Within both Zones and Conduits, Participants (Members and Guests) can share and
collaborate on files, blogs, create wikis, comment on or rate content, and much
more. To avoid inadvertent sharing and ensure privacy for sensitive business
collaboration, Zones, Conduits, and Communities (the standard Members-only
workspaces) are conspicuously labeled as such, with robust mechanisms to
safeguard against accidents or negligence.
'Clearvale is truly unique in unifying internal and external communication and
collaboration in a way that makes sense for business. The ability to add Guests
to a hybrid network in a secure and controlled way helps us achieve our goal of
connecting a social community for sponsors, speakers, and delegates around all
our events that spans across the entire lifecycle in a very cost-effective
manner,' said Adam Malik, CEO and Founder of Maven Cast. 'By offering a social
business network in Clearvale, we have seen our conversion rates dramatically
increase with 84 percent of community members registering as event delegates.'
'The ability to create hybrid networks of interconnected entities is a
tremendous advancement in the evolution of enterprise social networking,' said
Dr. Pehong Chen, Chairman, President, and CEO of BroadVision. 'BroadVision is
transforming the way work is done both across and beyond enterprises. A
company's workforce can now collaborate easily with customers, suppliers,
partners, and other key stakeholders in a safe and controlled way within the
same network and in the broader Clearvale social ecosystem.'
For example, collaboration using Clearvale's hybrid network might look like
this:
-- Company A establishes a Customer/Partner Management social network on
Clearvale. Its business development, sales, support, and other related
staff joins the network as Members.
-- Members set up Communities for Marketing, Sales, Support, R&D, Legal,
Finance, and any other projects or taskforces related to either all or
different partners and customers.
-- They invite all Customers and Partners to join this Network as Guests.
-- The Network Homepage is utilized to communicate and collaborate on issues
of common interest to all Participants.
-- In addition, Company A sets up Zones X and Y for its two product lines X
and Y, respectively, so that all Participants can interact on issues
related to either X or Y in its dedicated workspace.
-- Furthermore, separate Conduits are established as private workspaces for
specific groups of Participants to engage in more in-depth communication
and collaboration.
-- The identity of Guests is protected within Network Homepage and Zones.
However, Guests will operate with full identity within Conduits.
The newly expanded Guest feature combined with multi-level workspaces provides
organizations the flexibility to invite customers or partners from different
companies to collaborate seamlessly, discretely, and securely. The enhanced
Clearvale enterprise social ecosystem addresses the critical needs and
complexities of real business collaboration.
In a separate announcement today, BroadVision announced the availability of a
new set of features for Clearvale, which are designed to help companies
transform the way they work.
