this is well known for listening to customers, engaging, brand loyalty, etc. But there is no reason it shouldn’t be extended to include the innovation cycle / process
lots of ways to use social...one of which is technology
getting ideas and making it easier to do something with them. It’s an enabler of scale.
The default profile is shared site-wide (and can be public if you wish). More profiles can be added if your organization or a user decides they are required. The visibility of each Profile can be restricted to a specific audience of contacts, for example a professional profile - and all the personal content published beneath it - can be limited to a small audience of expert peers. Conversations can be initiated directly on the profile (just like a Facebook “Wall”) and a unique drag-and-drop interface makes it incredibly easy to edit profiles.
Groups are distinct online communities within a Sixent social network. They are usually created to serve a particular topic or a certain segment of members. You can create as many Groups as you wish and target each to a different audience. For example, one Group might be restricted to your nurses and employees for them to share knowledge about treatments or wounds without having to send experts to a customer’s home. Another Group might be open to all your customers and be a general help community for particular conditions. You can create groups for your Board of Directors, service partners.
The Activity Stream is a personalized flow of information and updates about everything that occurs in the network as it happens. In Sixent these real-time streams of information are present on user Dashboards, in their profiles and in each Group. Uniquely, Sixent Activity Streams go beyond a simple aggregation of events visible to everyone in the network. There are quick filters to narrow the focus to a particular type of activity, for example, just see new files shared, or just new discussion topics posted or even a particular category of contacts or group. With optional Twitter integration, if your organization wishes, Sixent Activity Streams can also show external activity feeds.
The search tools enable users to easily search for people, content or groups. Search is site-wide, or can be restricted to a specific Group. Your organization can define a People Directory for quick lookup of professionals, and a Group Directory to help people find interesting resources. There is site-wide keyword searching and tag-cloud searches within every Group. User friendly filters also enable new or most popular content and people to be found. There is also an ever-present search box on every page for quick searches. Optional file indexing takes search a step further by indexing the contents of any file uploaded to Sixent. Whether that’s a PDF or an Excel spreadsheet, Sixent can look inside to match search terms.
