Driving Innovation and Reducing Costs using Social Computing

In the current economic environment, everyone is being asked to reduce costs, improve efficiency and increase productivity, and by the way continue to innovate. Every one of these challenges requires that employees find better approaches and utilize better tools for collaborating. At the heart of collaboration is finding the necessary information and resources, building relationships and establishing informal or formal communities. The process is very people-centric or social. Therefore, social computing can be used to enhance and facilitate collaboration. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) provides key functionality for delivering social computing solutions. The MOSS social computing platform can also be extended through customization or the addition of third party tools to further enhance the problem-solving capability. This workshop will show how social computing and SharePoint can be used to drive innovation, solve real business problems, and reduce costs.
