Enterprise relationship search

Contact Networks has released ContactNet 4.0, which allows organizations to transform employee contacts into an enterprise resource. It enables large organizations to securely access and efficiently utilize the relationships and social networks that employees have with outside contacts and companies.

With Version 4.0, users can search for key introductions by business function, geography and industry--as well as the name, title and company of their targets--to find the contacts that will drive sales and partnerships.
