Socialtext Chases Salesforce Search
November 20, 2010
In “Socialtext 4.5 Searches Metadata & Connects Salesforce.com” CMS Wire reports that Socialtext has debuted its newest version which features a metadata search, called Socialtext Explore, and a Salesforce.com connector. The Salesforce connector brings together a shared activity stream and Socialtext uses metadata to make topics searchable. This shared work stream features not just documents and Web sites, but context around any shared work. Socialtext’s CEO Eugene Lee puts it this way: “”Right now, employees waste a day a week looking for people and information. By bridging information silos and making it simpler for people to share and discover work with colleagues, Socialtext 4.5 accelerates business performance and the speed with which employees can serve their customers.” This new version is debuting only six months after the 4.0 version, highlighting just how fast innovations in shared work across companies are appearing, and it sounds like Socialtext is staying ahead of the game with this one.
