OpenText Social Workplace helps you:
If you're used to using an email product that simply lets you exchange private messages with others, you know how quickly your inbox fills up. Some of those messages are important, some are of interest, and the vast majority are marginal or outright spam. And the only way to sort out the good stuff is to wade through all of it.
OpenText Social Workplace doesn't dump everything in your inbox. You use OpenText Social Workplace to post to online communities. Each community deals with a particular subject, such as HR Policies. You just join the communities that interest you, and that immediately sorts out all that marginal stuff.
OpenText Social Workplace communities don't just shield you from mail overload. Others who are interested in that same HR Policies community will also join it. They'll see everything you post, and you'll see all their responses plus everything they have posted.
Communities aren't just common posting areas, though. You can store (upload) files in a community and view files that others have uploaded. You can also download these files, perhaps to update them and then upload them back to the community.
You can also view wiki pages that have been developed collaboratively using web browsers.
So far, we've discussed what OpenText Social Workplace can do with "things". But you can't collaborate effectively without keeping track of people, and OpenText Social Workplace helps you do that, too.
Everyone in OpenText Social Workplace has a profile that includes information on their background, their picture, and even a personal blog. Say you're looking for someone in your organization who knows Spanish. You just search on "Spanish" to get a list of everyone who has that word in their profile.
Staying in the loop in a busy organization is a challenge. OpenText Social Workplace provides tools for tracking activity, both for things and people.
You can flag a post, uploaded file, or wiki page. Every time something changes (for example, a post is replied to or a file is updated), OpenText Social Workplace tells you.
Everyone can post status messages, and you'll see those messages collected in one place.
In addition, you can create a buddy list of all the people whose activities you want to follow. Whenever they update their blogs, you know. This list also provides a convenient way to contact them by phone or email, or to have an online conversation (chat) with them.
Community creators control what actions are available to others in their communities. You may find, depending on the community, that you aren't allowed to do everything described in this help. If you want to discuss your permissions in a community, contact its creator or moderator.
