Socialcast(R) by VMware Advances Enterprise Social Networking With New Capabilities

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 18, 2013) - VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, today announced the immediate availability of the latest version of Socialcast by VMware that introduces new capabilities such as integrated project management and secure instant messaging to help increase employee productivity, community engagement and business performance. The new Socialcast addresses the challenge of managing and accessing information trapped in silos by consolidating all activities associated with the daily flow of work into a single location with an intuitive interface that is accessible from any device. Socialcast users can now tap into activity streams, messages, private chats, projects and tasks to efficiently complete assignments to drive business outcomes.

"Although we were named a leader in IDC's latest MarketScape report1, we have not stopped innovating and are committed to delivering on our core promise of helping customers use social tools and practices to discover a better way to work," said Tim Young, vice president, social enterprise, End-User Computing, VMware. "We continue to advance the product with new capabilities to ensure we deliver the most value to our customers."

For companies in today's knowledge economy, competitive advantage is achieved by tapping deeper into the passions, imaginations and ingenuity of employees. Socialcast is the enterprise social networking platform that connects people, conversations and projects in one place to improve communication and collaboration to achieve better results, faster. A recent study of Socialcast end users revealed that 67 percent of community members found Socialcast helps them get answers to their questions faster and 81 percent indicated that being part of their employer's Socialcast community makes them feel more connected to the company2.

"More than 44,000 Philips employees engage through Socialcast to work together, exchange ideas and knowledge, and respond to questions asked by colleagues," said Dennis Agusi, global internal communications officer, Royal Philips Electronics. "The new Socialcast features allow us to work even more effectively and help us make collaboration even easier."

Bringing Simplicity and Efficiency to WorkflowsUnlike traditional communication and collaboration tools such as email, spreadsheets and intranets, Socialcast eliminates the multiple inboxes and information silos that stifle ideas and drain productivity. By giving employees modern ways to discover and connect, and by integrating social capabilities into the business systems people use every day, Socialcast helps unlock the flow of ideas and innovation across the organization to achieve untapped levels of performance.

New capabilities in Socialcast include:

Pricing and AvailabilityThe latest version of Socialcast is available immediately as an on-premise or SaaS solution.

Australians spending less time social networking

Facebook: Use is falling in Australia. Photo: Reuters

The amount of time Australians spend on social media sites is declining, new research involving three million internet users has revealed.

Interest in sites like Facebook and Twitter grew rapidly in Australia from 2010.

But new data shows time spent on these sites via fixed-line internet connections fell in 2012, with average users now spending 14 minutes out of every hour online using social networks, compared to 16 minutes per hour in 2011.

Similar falls were recorded in the US and Britain, broader research by information services firm Experian, involving another 22 million internet subscribers, has revealed.

''The online landscape is constantly changing and it could be that we're starting to see social networking sites reaching their peak,'' said Experian manager Matt Glasner.

The impact that surging smartphone and tablet use had on these figures is unclear.

Data published by Telstra in February showed that half of all Australians now own a smartphone, with many spending up to 12 hours per week accessing the internet using mobile devices.

But Experian and other researchers suggest most visits to social sites on phones and tablets are relatively quick.
