Intelligent social networking

Trampoline Systems has released Sonar Dashboard, which the company likens to a "Facebook for the enterprise."

Sonar Dashboard is designed to increase cohesion, collaboration and innovation in large organizations, says Trampoline. Interactive network visualizations and expertise search enable users to find and connect with the people they need at work and see the social networks and information flows operating across the enterprise ecosystem.

Further, says Trampoline, it provides employees with individual profiles, a news feed of network activity and a contacts list. Additionally, the company reports, Sonar Dashboard is automatically updated through integration with employees’ everyday work, such as e-mail, via Trampoline’s Sonar Server, which analyzes the social networks, information flows and expertise located within corporate information.
