Axceler's ViewPoint Enterprise Provides Visibility Into Enterprise Social Networks

As a large number of enterprises are expected to start using social network in one way or other in 2013, Axceler (News - Alert), a provider enterprise collaboration governance, administration and migration solutions, has announced the pre-release of its dashboard for social network, ViewPoint Enterprise.

The customizable dashboard can be used by corporate to extract information from enterprise social networks, such as Yammer, SharePoint, Box (News - Alert), Jive, and Chatter. Axceler will be demonstrating ViewPoint Enterprise at Gartner's Portals, Content and Collaboration Summit this year.

“Many businesses are still figuring out not only how to efficiently work on social collaboration platforms, but also the platforms that are helping the business achieve its goals," said Jim Lundy, founder and CEO of Aragon Research, in a statement. "As enterprises identify their collaboration platform mix, ViewPoint Enterprise simplifies how businesses track the success of each platform and identify what's working or not working in order to understand the trends, users and topics that are driving valuable engagement and collaboration within and across the enterprise."

ViewPoint Enterprise currently supports Yammer (News - Alert) and Axceler has plans to add support for additional social network platforms throughout the 2013. Organizations can use ViewPoint to gain visibility and carry out detailed comparison analysis of how employees use each platform, the trending topics, the adoption level of each platform and identify the most influential users in the organization.

"Businesses understand the value of collaboration platforms, but it's proven very difficult to validate the investment and ensure user adoption," said Michael Alden, CEO of Axceler. "As more businesses deploy collaboration platforms like Yammer, enterprises need an easy way to see and compare success across any platform as well as justify the investment. With the detailed insight our ViewPoint Enterprise solution provides, businesses can quickly view the company's social collaboration activity and identify exactly what content and internal support is needed to improve and encourage collaboration adoption and engagement across the business."        

Features included in ViewPoint Enterprise pre-release allow companies to get detailed insight into the user adoption and ability to track level of platform engagement.
