New Release Unifies Social Business Processes Across the Entire Enterprise
Ecosystem
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 a new set of features for the
Clearvale(tm) enterprise social networking platform, which are designed to help
companies transform the way they work. By integrating social networking into
existing business processes and workflows, rather than treating social
collaboration as an extra effort or afterthought, social networks in the
enterprise can provide a platform for improving the way real work gets done.
With this latest release, Clearvale is unifying social business processes
across the enterprise. New Clearvale Social Analytics help organizations
measure and reward contributions, identify subject matter experts, and assign
goals. With a new Microsoft(r) SharePoint integration, BroadVision adds to
Clearvale's structured collaboration capabilities where social networks are
integrated with enterprise systems of record. Enhanced Task capabilities, which
create semi-structured collaboration and accountability, provide alignment with
business processes and goals.
The features available today include:
-- Clearvale Social Analytics - two critical elements of successful enterprise
social networking adoption are measurement and incentivizing participation.
New Clearvale Social Analytics provide visibility and metrics organizations
need to develop and nurture an active enterprise social network.
BroadVision has developed a unique set of metrics designed to measure
network usage and assess the value of contribution:
1. Connectivity: Measures the people or communities with which each network
member interacts
2. Activity: Measures contribution of each network member
3. Popularity: Measures the value of contribution of each network member
Dashboards at the member and network levels provide at-a-glance visibility into
these key metrics. Network administrators can set targets for the various
metrics, enabling the use of contests or incentives to boost participation.
-- Task enhancements - a number of enhancements were made to the Task feature
to better support business workflows and social processes, including the
ability to designate different Task types. Task types help distinguish a
review from an approval or a directive versus a consultation to let
assignees better prioritize their work and to maintain a record of
important approvals as an audit trail. Task creators can also now set task
reminders and more.
-- Integration with Microsoft SharePoint - integration with Microsoft
SharePoint facilitates social collaboration around SharePoint content while
maintaining SharePoint's status as a system of record for documents.
-- Other updates - the release also includes an updated iPhone/iPad app with
quick access to Tasks, new and enhanced APIs, and improved search.
'Too often, organizations think that adopting social networking within the
enterprise is an additional burden, and as a result projects get delayed or
sidetracked indefinitely. But quite the opposite is true,' said Dr. Pehong
Chen, Chairman, President, and CEO of BroadVision. 'The key is to time-shift
from chasing endless email trails or attending senseless status meetings to
performing the same work in a collaborative network. To enable that time shift,
the enterprise social networking platform chosen must support existing business
tasks, processes, and systems. With this release, Clearvale does it all.'
In a separate announcement today, BroadVision announced the availability of
Guest and Conduit features in Clearvale for collaboration across multiple
enterprises.
Supporting Quotes:
'With a globally dispersed workforce, QuickLogic needed a collaborative
solution that could provide a place for us to do our work and be accessible
across multiple continents and mobile devices. Clearvale not only meets these
needs but exceeds our expectations. We have found the benefits to be abundant
with a definite increase in communication and productivity.'
--Paul Karazuba, Senior Marketing Manager of QuickLogic
'InTouch believes dynamic cooperation between offices, extending across
countries and cultures, requires a real time and collaborative solution. We
chose Clearvale for its exceptional ability to connect the enterprise and add
social networking into our existing business processes and workflows. This
means that we can easily adapt to the changing demands of the market to meet
the needs of our customers anywhere, anytime.'
--Rager Ossel, CEO of InTouch NV
'The response for our social business community is overwhelmingly positive and
enthusiastic. We used Clearvale to create our T Community as a way to connect
separate communities for knowledge sharing and to encourage collaboration among
the public, businesses, and government institutions. The standout feature is
the Task workflow which enables us to keep track of citizen requests and who is
responsible for completing the project. This decreases our response time so we
can achieve more goals in a shorter period of time.'
--Michiel Duijsings, Web Manager at Municipality of Tilburg
'Professional growth and development of resources are the foundation of our
success and Clearvale is a powerful solution that is essential to how we get
work done. Gruppo Reti chose Clearvale to create its Intranet 2.0 to share
information, knowledge, and skills in a real collaborative environment.'
--Bruno Paneghini, President and CEO of Gruppo Reti
'Clearvale is an integral part of TechTree IT Systems. Every new member of our
company is sent an invitation to join the TechTree IT Clearvale network and
instantly employees are able to connect to the network and do their work in a
collaborative manner. With Clearvale our employees have greater awareness, and
as a direct result, we have increased customer satisfaction by approximately 20
percent.'
--Lt Col Sanjay Ahuja, COO of TechTree IT Systems Pvt Ltd.
'Clearvale has transformed our company and the way we work. From executives to
frontline employees, we manage work tasks, share documents, ask questions or
get answers-all in Clearvale. By integrating it into our everyday work,
Clearvale brings out the hidden potential of our organization and we have seen
tremendous impact and encouraging results.'
--Wang Pu, Founder and President of Alliance PKU Management Consultants Ltd.
