Enterprises today find it difficult to meet certain vital operational requirements due to which their efficiency is negatively impacted.
- Too many silos in and across teams
- Inability to actively engage employees
- Too many calls and e-mails leaving little time for critical thinking
- Lack of transparency in execution
- Lack of complete 360° view
- On-boarding time of 4–8 weeks for a new entrant
- Inability to track customer knowledge, retention and commitments made
- Enterprise knowledge anchored around few individuals
- Complicated workflows
Enterprise Social Media is the current trend for a reason – a culture based on democracy, skill-authority and free flow of information. The free flow of information and spot collaboration trumps hierarchy based fairly rigid methods in traditional commercial organizations.
However, Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs) implemented with a complete lack of structure creates an unviable impasse between data, collaboration and information, resulting in enterprises still struggling with most of the pain points mentioned above. An organization needs a balance of both - that is where Octopus comes in.
Octopus is an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) with a purpose. This solution provides an integrated and holistic approach to implement workplace technology and an interactive workspace for a thorough adoption of social media aligned to common enterprise needs. Octopus equips an enterprise for efficient business with social team rooms, knowledge proliferation and employee engagement in a unified workspace. It is based on modular apps and consists of several social applications built using IBM Connections and uniquely weaved.
Octopus addresses all the above pain points in form of a structured professional ESN. It delivers social media in a structure that promotes freedom, free flow of information, skill-authority rather than hierarchy - but in a way that aligns to business needs and weaved with enterprise entities, functions, structure and team definitions. It unifies the enterprise, simplifies processes, centralizes information and brings in business efficiency – all on one social networking platform.
Octopus is available on Internet, Mobile (iOS, Android, Blackberry) and tablets.
