22/04/2008

SONAR Dashboard built to satisfy demand for a "Facebook for business"

Web 2.0 Expo, San Francisco and London, UK, 22nd April 2008 - Trampoline Systems, social intelligence for business, today announces SONAR Dashboard, the world's first intelligent social network for enterprises. SONAR Dashboard is Trampoline's response to market demand for a "Facebook for the enterprise". It empowers employees of large enterprises to connect and collaborate and strengthens informal employee networks across departments and geographies.

SONAR Dashboard is an intelligent social network designed to increase cohesion, collaboration and innovation in large organisations. Interactive network visualisations and expertise search enable users to find and connect with the people they need at work and see the social networks and information flows operating across the enterprise ecosystem. It provides employees with individual profiles, a news feed of network activity and a contacts list. SONAR Dashboard is automatically updated through integration with employees' everyday work such as email, via Trampoline's SONAR Server. SONAR Server analyses the social networks, information flows and expertise hidden within corporate information.

Charles Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer of Trampoline Systems, says, "Many organisations are looking for a "Facebook for business". SONAR Dashboard is the answer. Trampoline has built SONAR Dashboard from the ground up to meet the needs of large enterprises. Unlike other social networking products, SONAR Dashboard is automatically updated, providing an up-to-date network as a by-product of employees' everyday work."

SONAR Dashboard is an addition to SONAR Suite, Trampoline's 360° enterprise social computing platform. SONAR Flightdeck provides organisational diagnostics for managers. SONAR Flightdeck and Dashboard are powered by SONAR Server, which analyses the relationships and expertise hidden in corporate data using proprietary social network analysis and natural language processing technology. SONAR Suite provides enterprise-class security, privacy and integration.

Trampoline is exhibiting on the Oracle booth, booth 629, at Web 2.0 Expo , Moscone West, San Francisco, from 22-25th April. Charles Armstrong will be discussing Facebook and the Enterprise at the booth at 1:20pm on Wednesday 23rd April. A complimentary white paper, entitled Enterprise Social Computing: Why "Facebook for the Enterprise" is not Facebook, is available from Trampoline's website, www.trampolinesystems.com .
