Chatter.com – The Social Enterprise

Firstly I would like to share with you this article which was released in Forbes.com titled “Does Salesforce.com Owns the Social Enterprise?“. My interest is the implication of The Social Enterprise to the SMEs. In this article there were several companies cited on their applications of Chatter and how they have benefited greatly from Chatter. Better collaboration, improve communication and information sharing to cite a few. In this video about Hewlett Packard implementing Chatter the Senior Vice President of Global Technology and Business Processes Mr. John Hinshaw explained how going social has enabled HP to become more competitive and can better serve their customers. The keywords mentioned were better collaboration and information sharing and I have to emphasise that in any organisation it is the ability to work together more effectively and cohesively that makes the organisation great. It doesn’t matter if you are a 10 people company or a 1,000 people company you have to look at ways to improve communication, collaboration and information sharing not only internally but also with your customers and prospects. Chatter is the answer to to fulfill that need and the beauty of this solution is it is FREE. You can sign up for a free account at Chatter.com and I would recommend that you watch the video which is also on the same web site. After you have watched the video and if you need further advice you can also contact us by submitting your questions using this form. We will help you make business sense out of it and I’m sure you will benefit from it greatly.

We are living in a very well connected world and Chatter.com is the tool that allows us to collaborate using popular mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, Android devices and Blackberry. It provides the liberty to work from anywhere and I’m sure productivity of your organisation will definitely increase. The main challenge is to discipline yourself not to overwork if you implement Chatter.

Let the social enterprise revolution begin in Singapore and let the SME be the first to embrace it.
