An antiquated technology is reborn
through social software.


In many ways, corporate information sharing has failed to live up to our expectations. But there is cause for hope.

Social technologies are redefining what's possible for the corporate intranet. Combining traditional intranet features with innovative social capabilities, this much maligned application is quickly evolving to incorporate new and innovative ways to share content, collaborate around projects and connect with colleagues. Where past concepts have failed, intranet 2.0 will succeed.

Join intranet expert Toby Ward and social software leader Dan Latendre in this educational webinar as they walk you through the definition, prevalence and importance of social intranets, supported by recent statistics and case studies.

During this 60-minute webinar, based in part on Prescient's Social Intranet whitepaper, discover:

  • The business drivers for social intranets
  • Where your intranet stands in relation to others in the industry
  • What key metrics are critical for planning, deploying & evaluating a 2.0 intranet solution

I am really looking forward to this session with Toby Ward - one of Canada's most recognized web experts. The topic "socializing your intranet" is really hot right now in the corporate community. According to a recent study by Forrester Research, modernizing the corporate intranet was one of the top three "use cases" for web 2.0 tools and technologies in business.
