What is Social Business Software?

Posted by Dana Larson on August 12, 2010

Social Business Team If your business is looking ahead for new solutions to make it more successful, you may have heard the phrase “social business software” recently. But you might be wondering exactly what it is and how it can help your business.

As a relatively new concept from an old need, social business software refers to a software application that allows those within a business to connect and communicate. It will allow those in the business to connect with those outside the business, such as customers, clients and vendors. It will also connect team members over great distances, thus allowing for a dispersed team and reduced travel costs for face-to-face meetings.

With effective social business software, you and your team will be able to...

  1. Connect dispersed team members
  2. Communicate with external teammates, including customers, clients and business partners
  3. Connect with prospects for sales presentations
  4. Reduce travel time and travel costs by meeting and communicating online
  5. Collaborate with team members on projects and tasks
  6. Brainstorm with team members on upcoming projects and tasks
  7. Store and share files between team members
  8. Collaborate on files with others by utilizing file version control
  9. Manage work in a place where all team members can see it
  10. Complete work as a team

Social business software is quickly becoming the “talk of the town”, and will soon be what every business is after for better team communication and collaboration.
