With Socialtext, social networking is integrated into the collaboration platform, and knowledge sharing is a byproduct of getting work done. Everyone has the full context of the who, what, when, where and why as they work with others to accomplish goals. With Socialtext, people leverage each other’s ideas, knowledge and expertise much more fluidly and advantageously. Trust and teamwork climb, and passion builds. With Socialtext, you get the power of people.
People are the platform: the people who make up your organization, and Socialtext People, which connects them in a social network. The Socialtext collaboration platform gives you a better way to work. It includes social networking, microblogging, wiki workspaces with integrated blogs, distributed spreadsheets, and a personal home page for every user. Connectors to Microsoft SharePoint and Lotus Connections are also available.
With Socialtext People, you get social networking deeply integrated with enterprise collaboration. Socialtext People connects work colleagues and gives them a full picture of each other.

Socialtext Workspace is an easy-to-use enterprise wiki that reduces by 1/3 the time your staff spends searching for information and people every day, and speeds up cycle times in every function across the organization.
Socialtext Dashboard gives each user their own wiki home page. You use Socialtext Dashboard to aggregate content from Socialtext wiki pages, the web and enterprise systems. You can set it up to show everything that matters to you, all in one place. You not only link to everything you need quick access to, but you also see when something important to you changes. You stay up to date on what matters most, automatically, and you see at a glance what needs your attention.
A collaborative blog is an integral part of the Socialtext platform. Unlike blogs designed for external communications, the Socialtext blog is designed to support collaborative and ongoing conversations among colleagues, to advance group knowledge on important topics, and to create a corporate memory of this valuable knowledge.
Socialtext Signals provides microblogging connected with the enterprise collaboration platform. The microblogging occurs in the context of colleagues working towards common goals. Socialtext Signals amplifies, clarifies and complements other collaboration activities and provides a medium for fast and widespread information sharing.
