BroadVision: eBusiness for everyone

CONFENIS 2009

The Enterprise Information Systems International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of EIS (CONFENIS) is a primary international event of the IFIP TC8 Working Group 8.9.. This program provides an opportunity for academicians and practitioners throughout the world to gather, exchange ideas, and present original research in the field of enterprise information systems. BroadVision's Technical Director, Richard Hughes, will present "Enterprise Social Networking - Don't be Afraid" discussing how enterprises can embrace social networking capabilities for a productive workforce.

With the media full of stories about lost productivity and brand damage caused by employee misuse of social networking, it is not surprising that many companies are hostile to embracing social applications. But when applied in a business context, social techniques and technologies can improve the way companies communicate with their customers and employees. A new class of business applications, Enterprise Social Networks, is emerging to enable this. These are more than just “Twitter/Facebook for business” applications, and their relationship to existing Enterprise Portals needs to be carefully planned.
