The back story

There's more to a solution than just software. We've learned a lot working in business development and with open-source social software and web 2.0 applications. We figured out what works, how it works, and where it works, so we can save you time and money.

What's more, in open-source communities, we use an open innovation process, which encourages participation. This is a central principle of web 2.0.

How will you make your project a living, breathing and growing one? Using traditional metrics to find a return on investment for a web 2.0 project is challenging. The best answer for ROI is the level of participation.

We'll help you integrate and apply the right processes as well as develop and implement the right technologies. Call us at 973.433.4007 to get a scalable, first-class solution.

Scenario 1. An internal customer has come to you with a problem. Her team is consistently missing deadlines because of poor communication. E-mails frequently go unread for days, members don't respond to questions in a timely fashion and too many meetings are required to get everybody back on track. Other email problems include: internal spam, cc, cya, and my fav - reply all. Make connections.

Scenario 2. You're losing business. Customers are defecting to competitors. Your web site is like a museum - look but don't touch. The information is outdated, hard to find. It has no connection to the social web or support for sharing information - rss/xml . The site has no facility for customer interaction or user generated content - reviews, recommendations, voting, comments, etc. Sharing ideas (so they can become viral across the net) and having actionable information is simply impossible. Join the social web and improve marketing and sales.

Scenario 3. You have problems - gigantic gaps - that your business strategy and IT applications fail to address. Your employees, customers, and stakeholders deserve better. You need to innovate and help people make better connections. Your intranet is outdated - broken. There is no facility for follow-up on training, events, conference calls, or conferences.No search. The left hand does't know what the right hand is doing. There's no easy way to capture, share, and track important yet informal information. The kind of information that is not organized or reused - it should be - but tends to get lost. The kind that helps you make better decisions, improve work flows, and customer support. Make your information actionable.
