Easy enterprise collaboration

Socialcast has released Ease (enterprise activity stream engine), which features an expanded technology platform designed to support enterprise collaboration through activity streams, the company says.

Socialcast adds that Ease can be deployed behind a firewall or in the cloud (with SaaS option). Further, the new offering can be integrated with Microsoft Outlook, so that it fits into existing workflows. The company also reports that other features include a real-time interface that aggregates information from existing business systems with employee-generated messages, including microblogging updates, into a live, searchable activity stream that provides employees with a unified view of data and activities flowing across the enterprise.

Also, an analytics suite quantifies visibility into employee trends, topics and conversations across microblogging and other social activities within an enterprise activity stream, offering live feedback and actionable insights that can generate real-time operational efficiencies.
