Connect People is about connections with and between people in your organisation. It is the portal to your people, their knowledge, expertise and experience.


Helping to find people
Connect enables users to participate at their own pace by encouraging them to share with others what they want to promote about themselves. A rich set of profile fields can be configured to mesh with your organisation’s structures and terminologies to help ensure familiarity.
It is through participation that users heighten visibility which in turn helps stimulate collaboration.
Finding people to help
Users can identify people and communities by browsing or searching the content within Connect. Alternatively your corporate search engine can be configured to mine the Connect resource, uncovering only what is available to each user.
Drawing the outside in
Connect can extend the depth of resource beyond your intranet by permitting key partners to maintain a presence from outside your organisation in a safe and managed way. This can result in ready access to JV partners and appropriate sharing with academia, consultants and retired employees.
Dynamic Suggestion
By comparing profiles, Connect dynamically suggests new relationships with people and communities that are likely to be of interest to the user.
In addition, Connect can be configured to dynamically manage geographic and organisational Distribution Lists based on user associations made within their profile.
Promoting Awareness
Connect keeps the user abreast of relevant activity with a personalised stream and multiple RSS feeds.
Integrated into your organisation
Connect integrates with your organisation's terminology, structures, processes and will meet your brand requirements.
In addition, Connect's Social Connector brings the connectedness of Social Business directly into Microsoft Lync™ and Outlook™, enabling users to engage with those of interest from within familiar Microsoft™ applications.
Intelligent access
Connect is not an island, providing extensive Web Services through which other web sites and applications can readily make use of and maintain Connect content.
Single sign-on techniques are employed to achieve seamless authentication from within your intranet, thereby avoiding the creation of unnecessary barriers.
