The Connections Blog

Analysis of social networking systems is increasingly becoming a real hot topic - there is a huge amount of information in a corporate social software solution such as Lotus Connections and advanced techniques are required to extract and interrogate the data.

IBM has released a new ISSL ExpertBriefing podcast covering this area:

Being able to quickly find the right people within an organization who can provide the information and expertise needed to address business challenges can give a company a significant competitive edge. With the help of social software and social networking analysis technology, individuals now have the tools to more quickly provide and find information as well as build and leverage important social networks across an organization.

In this podcast, Bill Kilduff, Chris Desforges, and Scot Bentley from IBM Software Services for Lotus discuss the latest trends in social software and uses for social networking analysis technology. They also provide an overview of Atlas for Lotus Connections, an IBM solution that helps users analyze their social networks, identify experts, and better leverage their relationships to those experts.
