SharePoint Joins Facebook
April 5, 2011
SharePoint isn’t really joining the social networking giant, but something akin is happening: Neudesic Pulse Version 1.2 Adds Rich Social Capabilities to Microsoft SharePoint. Neudesic is a certified Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and their Pulse is an enterprise social software that connects businesses in real time for faster, more efficient, and better collaboration. The new endeavor promises to turn SharePoint in a compelling, socially interactive environment.
Neudesic wants its users to treat the Pulse enterprise like a Facebook page-all social excitement included.
The new Pulse version 1.2 features are:
- Pulse IQ – Ask and answer questions and uncover company experts.
- Invitations – Extend your community through Windows Live ID login for users without an Active Directory login.
- Notifications – Always see the latest activity in Pulse with Notifications about replies, answers to your questions, updates to system feeds, or any other response tied to your activity in Pulse.
- On-premise and cloud hosting: Organizations now have a choice for how Pulse is hosted – the ease of hosting in the cloud, or on-site hosting if cloud security is a concern.
Neudesic hopes to create a user interface that is recognizable and welcomed by its users. SurfRay always welcomes new ideas, especially ones that improve the user experience. When SharePoint joins the social networking cloud, you can be sure that the social search and collaborative aspects delivered by SurfRay’s solutions will be part of it.
