When Eugene talks about the Socialtext platform, he often refers to it as a platform with a lowercase “p.” What he means by that is we don’t consider Socialtext a Swiss Army knife of features, but rather a flexible platform built on open web standards that makes it easy for our customers to use everything or anything, and integrate it with other technologies that help drive their business.
Momentum Worldwide is a Socialtext customer with some 1,300 employees utilizing our enterprise microblogging and wiki workspaces offerings. Momentum has connected those applications to other cloud-based, SaaS technologies to build a custom communications portal inside this marketing agency, where employees collaborate and manage customer needs more efficiently. Momentum represents a perfect example of a firm in the professional services arena that have embraced enterprise social software.
Led by global IT director Doug Pierce, the Momentum portal was recognized by his peers in the ad and marketing agency world as a game-changing technology. This inspired Doug and his team to productize the portal offering, naming it Fuz1on. I’m proud to announce today that Socialtext is an official partner.
In addition to Socialtext, Fuz1on includes Netvibes, exalead, Webcargo, Split Cloud, and our friends at Ping Identity (another Socialtext partner).
At Socialtext, it’s not a cliche, but merely a truism, that we measure our success next to that of our customers. While we’re proud to have Doug and Momentum as a customer, we’re also thrilled to welcome them as a Socialtext partner.
