The Aragon Research Globe™ for Social Software, 2016
Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs), or Communities, as they’re sometimes called, are shifting as workers are seeking new and easier ways of sharing knowledge. There are many enterprises that still struggle with the purpose of an ESN, while others have harnessed this collaborative technology to enable knowledge sharing across the enterprise.
The second challenge for enterprises when it comes to social collaboration and knowledge sharing is productivity. ESN providers are starting to respond to this challenge with a larger focus on Work and what Aragon is referring to as the rise of Work Platforms or Hubs. Work Platforms help individuals manage work as well as teams and groups. We look at Work Platforms as more than just tracking tasks, which today is the primary capability that will evolve over time.
This Aragon Research Globe™ for Social Software evaluates 21 Enterprise Social Network providers who each focus on the core problem of sharing knowledge and enabling productivity.
