How to Identify Enterprise-Class Social Networking Platforms.
ThePort has worked with many organizations over the years that are either launching their first social networking community or are trying to reinvigorate their current efforts with a new platform.
Our experience guiding clients through the evaluation process has helped us define the critical elements for selecting a social networking platform that will provide long-term success.
- Defining enterprise social network software for nonprofits
- Key questions to ask social networking vendors
- Ensuring that community data is stored in a secure data center
- Exploring social networking integration with your organization's database systems
- Determining if your social networking platform can grow with your organization
The whitepaper recommendations are compiled from ThePort's experience in deploying more than 100 successful social networking communities for nonprofit organizations and associations. The most successful organizations deploying social media are able to utilize a platform that is customized to their organization's mission, helps a constituent connect with peers, and provides renewed participations in the organization's activities.
