Sorting through the new sales season
By Charles Armstrong | Saturday, February 28th, 2009
Tracey Caldwell, for CIO Magazine, interviews Will Edward, Head of Sales, for an article exploring the role that a better connected workforce can play in driving revenue.
Trampoline Systems analyses social networks internally and externally, extracting key data from emails, blogs and wikis, and building a visual picture of that network that highlights the topics and people that are being discussed. The system automatically builds a social networking-style portfolio for each employee, and employees are able to use the network to mine others’ profiles and communications for the information they want.
Will Edward, Head of Sales at Trampoline, says CIOs are taking very different approaches to the issues of employee privacy and data sharing. “It can be seen as Big Brother and can put the cat among the pigeons,” he warns. “What we are seeing is two different experiences. US and global corporations take the view that email, for example, is a corporate asset subject to compliance and stringent controls, whereas in Europe there is seen to be a need for employees to opt in and be part of that process. Most of our customers don’t go down that route.”
