Social Network
The Social Networking module provides unified social network abstraction layers allowing
applications to display a complete communication history on documents with a fully-
integrated email and message management system. It enables the user to read and send a
message as well as e-mails , it also provides a feeds page combine to a subscription
mechanism that allows to follow documents and to be constantly updated about recent news.
Recent research shows that we spend 61 % of our professional time either reading and
answering email, searching and gathering information or communicating and collaborating
internally.
Tools that focalize on these activities and integrate them into the regular business processes
enrich and enhance users’ productivity. That is exactly why we brought the Business Apps
and social networking together.
The Social Network App is based on the OpenChatter engine and has the following main
characteristics:
facilitates conversations with internal users or external ones (customers, suppliers,etc),
joining the power of instant messaging with standard emails ,
organise groups of discussions, an alternative to traditional mailing lists,
extends the breadth of these conversations to incorporate discussions around and about
business documents,
incorporates a subscription system to any business event, generating notifications,
displays all the messages and notifications in a threaded manner on the user’s unified
feeds page.
