Back in June, we launched Socialtext Connect, an offering that enables companies to integrate social software with their traditional systems of record, such as ERP or CRM. The idea behind Connect is that social software should be a layer that integrates all applications together seamlessly, not a feature that is added to each standalone application

Tomorrow at 1 p.m. eastern, we’ll be co-hosting a free webinar about the social layer with Forrester Research and NYU Stern, a Socialtext customer that is integrating its critical business applications with our social software platform. Forrester’s lead Enterprise 2.0 analyst Rob Koplowitz will give an overview of how companies are thinking about the social layer, and NYU Stern’s Van Williams will give practical examples of how his organization is building one.

We look forward to hearing Rob and Van’s insights, and we’ll conduct an open Q&A at the end with attendees.
