Private social network for your company

Keep people connected to the vast wealth of knowledge, ideas, and resources that flow through your company each day. Let everyone in the organization create and share profiles that identify their role, expertise, and interests and make it easier to collaborate. When people know what’s happening and who can help, they are more engaged and can move faster.

What's an Activity Stream?

Business Conversations

Securely communicate with your team to keep everyone up-to-date. Spread ideas and information quickly without cluttering inboxes or interrupting people.

Post status updates, questions and ideas to let colleagues know what you’re working on
Create threaded, context-rich discussions with real-time commenting and collaboration
Upload documents, presentations, photos and links for everyone to see and discuss
Organize messages with tags and flag posts for follow-up, making information easy to find when you need it
Get noticed for your contributions with frequent updates that everyone from the CEO to your manager can view
Feel connected to the people that you call, email, and gear about inside your company

Public and Private Groups

A Group is a place for you to connect with people with a shared interest. Groups are public or private, and help organize communications and activities around a project, team, topic, or interest.

Create and join groups to discuss work-related projects or to meet colleagues with similar skills, passions and hobbies
Public groups are open to anyone, and private groups are invitation-only spaces for confidential discussions
Launch projects and track their progress by communicating with all stakeholders inside a closed group

Rich Employee Profiles

Create a profile that captures your expertise and shows colleagues across the company who you are and what you do. Let others learn about your skills, talents and interests.
