    Chicago Enterprise Social Networking Event Wrap Up

    Last night, we hosted an enterprise social networking event in Chicago as part of an ongoing series to highlight best practices shared by Socialtext customers.

    It followed our event in New York in April featuring the CIO of NYU Stern (which you can read about here).

    Jack MacKay, VP and CIO of the American Hospital Association, led last night’s discussion at Harry Caray’s in Chicago, and it was a great one. Jack shared how the AHA has built a vibrant social intranet running on Socialtext.

    The reason for AHA’s success: Utilizing enterprise social networking to enhance existing business processes and systems. Using Socialtext Connect, our integration technology, the AHA integrated key HR and document management systems into its social intranet, making it a place where work gets done inside the company. I uploaded the slides to SlideShare so you can get more of the details.

    After the presentation, other Socialtext customers — including FONA International and Hospira — joined in a roundtable discussion about fostering adoption and value from their enterprise social networking efforts.

    We’re looking forward to the next event, and appreciate everyone who came out and contributed to a great discussion.
