Influencing change in your organization’s culture is tough. Understanding how healthy your ESN (Enterprise Social Networking) platform is will help you unleash its true potential. Transforming how you connect, collaborate and learn with your colleagues, customers and business partners has never been so critical.
There are multiple ways of how you can approach such transformation efforts in order to help improve your digital adaptation capabilities.
panagenda ESN HealthCheck helps you improve adoption, explore user activity details and participation rates, better understand community analytics, evaluate end-to-end availability, service quality and performance measurements, detect automatically anomalies and critical peaks, and evaluate the overall effectiveness of your different change initiatives.
Come and join us for this practical session including a hands-on demo on what ConnectionsExpert 2.0 has to offer to measure how healthy your ESN is within your organization so that you can take your digital transformation journey into the next level.

As a developer do you find yourself struggling to keep up with the endless stream of technology options available?

Cor03. AppFusions: Sustained, Secure, Scalable, Proven UX/Design Integrations for IBM Connections ... and Aloha
Wednesday, May 23 | 10:15 - 11:00 | C. Trinidad

Ah integrations! The achilles heel of IT, and IBM Connections! Can't live without them; the need and requests never stop, but the solution to the puzzle never seems solved.
All you want is great integrations with the tools you use daily, inside IBM Connections, to improve your users' workflows, save time, and allow less process redundancies and confusions. Why is that so dang hard?!?! Simply put, because the devil's in the details, and DIY one-off solutions ties up an entire employee or three (that is, until the NEXT time the end-point system version updates and the integration breaks). Ugh!
AppFusions has been commercially delivering holistic, sustained, supported full-UX packaged integration solutions since 2010. In the early days, everyone said, "You ARE nuts!" Nowadays, it is "our normal" and our endless passion.
Just like your iPhone apps "just work", we believe so also should IBM Connections' users be able to expect supported integration solutions (in IBM Connections cloud or on-premise) and we can prove it. Come learn more! Also we are excited to share our all-integrated modern enterprise portal solution too: Aloha.
