So, what’s Enterprise Social Networking?
Enterprise Social Networking?
Don’t fall asleep on me, yet.
“Enterprise social networking focuses on the use of online social
networks or social relations among people who share business
interests and/or activities. Enterprise social networking is often a
facility of enterprise social software (regarded as a primary
component of Enterprise 2.0), which is essentially social software
used in "enterprise" (business/commercial) contexts. It
encompasses modifications to corporate intranets and other
classic software platforms used by large companies to organize
their communication, collaboration and other aspects of their
intranets. Enterprise social networking is also generally thought to
include the use of a standard external social networking service
to generate visibility for an enterprise.”

Research on ESN…
Research on ESN…

“Enterprise social networks will become the
primary communication channels for
noticing, deciding or acting on information
relevant to carrying out work.”
Gartner Group
Research on ESN…

“By 2016, 50 percent of large organizations
will have internal Facebook-like social
networks.
30 percent of these will be considered as
essential as email and telephones are today.
“
Gartner Group
Research on ESNs…

“More than 90 percent of Fortune 500
companies will partially or fully implement an
enterprise social network by the end of
2013… That would represent a 70 percent
increase over 2011.”
Deloitte (Insights for CIOs)
Why ESNs…

So, Enterprise Social Networking is cool,
widely adopted, and growing fast, but really - what problems does it solve?
Research on ESN…

“Consumers don‟t want brand relationships
to be part of their open social networks;
instead they want company websites to be
more like their experiences with open social
networks.”
The Incyte Group
Research on ESN…
“The primary beef with platforms like
Facebook and Google+ tends to be that user
information is effectively walled off from the
rest of the Internet. The treasure trove of
content posted and shared within Facebook,
for instance, is largely invisible outside of
Facebook. Google can‟t crawl it.”
Fast Company

“Oh, and Facebook owns the data about
those interactions, not you.”

Shameless plug for DNN…

Here‟s good news. You can incorporate
community functionality seamlessly into your
existing website with Evoq Social.

To be effective, ESNs have to create value.

Gartner research estimates that fully
80% of social business initiatives will
deliver disappointing results
My own experience: iheartdnn.com

Gartner research estimates that fully
80% of social business initiatives will
deliver disappointing results, but that‟s
typically a result in a failure of strategy
rather than a failure of the tool
(software).
Thank you!
