NewsGator is re-architecting its Social Sites enterprise social networking (ESN) suite so that it can be installed independently of Microsoft's SharePoint collaboration server.

The decision isn't terribly surprising, given that Microsoft last summer bought NewsGator competitor Yammer for US$1.2 billion and has ambitious plans to deeply integrate Yammer with SharePoint and other Microsoft products, like Office and Dynamics CRM. However, this decision is a big technology and strategy shift for NewsGator.

"Today Social Sites still runs on SharePoint," said Brian Kellner, NewsGator's executive vice president of products. "As we go forward, we're working on an architecture that doesn't have a dependence on SharePoint, although it can still take advantage of it."

NewsGator's CEO, Daniel Kraft, hinted at this move back in August, when he told IDG News Service that while the company would continue solidifying Social Sites' standing in the Microsoft ecosystem, it would also expand the product's scope to, for example, enterprise applications from SAP. The idea, Kraft said then, would be to let users manage processes from those third-party applications within Social Sites.

Kellner reiterated that an integration with SAP is in the works. From its SharePoint perch, NewsGator already has a level of integration with Chatter -- Salesforce.com's ESN module -- and with Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Back in 2007, NewsGator made a bold and risky decision in designing Social Sites -- today its flagship product -- specifically for SharePoint. Other ESN vendors, including Yammer, built their products to be more platform-agnostic.

NewsGator's bet paid off. As a tightly integrated ESN add-on for SharePoint -- Microsoft's collaboration, content management and intranet server -- Social Sites has a user base of more than 4 million and hundreds of large customers, including JP Morgan Chase, Kraft Foods, Adidas, General Mills, Ericsson and Barclays.

The newly architected, non-SharePoint-dependent Social Sites could make its debut as early as this year.

For now, NewsGator continues to improve Social Sites, and will release on Tuesday version 3.5 of the product, which extends the capabilities of a revamped user interface called Lookout that was introduced in version 3.0 in August of last year.

Lookout will now have links to Microsoft's Exchange and Outlook, so that users can call up their email, calendar and task entries from within Social Sites. Likewise, users will be able to access Social Sites data and capabilities from within Outlook via a new plug-in for the Microsoft email client.

NewsGator plans to uncouple its enterprise social suite from SharePoint

healthcare providers, financial services firms and other companies in highly regulated industries are taking full advantage of social media, even though they're awash in rules. Here's how they do it.

Social networking is serious business within regulated industries. Posts pertaining to finance, insurance and healthcare, in particular, require adherence to strict government and industry regulations. However, even with the rule-a-palooza, some companies in these industries have not only found ways to keep regulators happy, but have also made social networking a productive and key part of doing business.

That said, the phenomenon is still in fairly early stages. Only around 10% of the companies in regulated industries have a "truly social" enterprise where multiple social media tools have been integrated into general content consumption, according to Toby Ward, founder of Toronto-based Prescient Digital Media, a consulting firm for Fortune 500 companies.

"It depends on the organization and their level of savviness," he says. Companies where executives start their own blogs, for example, are more likely to use social media effectively and adopt it widely, according to a recent study by Prescient. "Almost all major banks have been in social media for at least a few years," Ward says.

Show Me the Regulations

Banks are embracing social media despite the fact that the financial services industry may be subject to the strictest compliance requirements and regulatory mandates. In just one example, in January 2010, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) published guidelines for blogs and social networking sites that, among other things, outline specific record-keeping responsibilities and supervision requirements.

That hasn't stopped MassMutual, a Springfield, Mass.-based financial services firm, from using social media. "We developed our social media strategy by forging a partnership with key contacts in our company's legal and compliance departments," says Marie Politis, MassMutual's vice president of online experience. "Regulatory requirements are even more stringent when it comes to communications by individual members of our salesforce."

MassMutual is working with Actiance, a Belmont, Calif.-based social media consultancy, to roll out a pilot program that meets FINRA's requirement to review and archive initial, or static, social media posts. ("Static" is a term used by FINRA to describe initial posts; once the audience engages with the content, the resulting conversation is considered "interactive.") Another MassMutual goal for its pilot program is to monitor interactive communications, which must be reviewed.

The benefits of connecting with existing and potential customers through social media make the effort worthwhile, practitioners say. "Money is a highly sensitive topic," says Michelle Peluso, global consumer chief marketing and Internet officer at New York-based Citigroup. "One of the things social media allows us to do is to listen in to hear what people say about our brand, our competitors, our industry, products and services, and our people." Even given all those advantages, though, "we have to think hard about the regulatory challenges," she admits.

Highly regulated companies tiptoe into social media

SPRINGVILLE, UT--(Marketwire - Feb 12, 2013) - CirclePix.com, LLC (CirclePix), which specializes in comprehensive, automated marketing solutions for real estate professionals, announced today that it is offering a new and improved social networking feature to its Social Networking Suite for agents and brokerages. CirclePix helps real estate agents use all major social networking platforms, which increases SEO and expands the audience to whom they communicate with and market their property listings.

"Keeping up with the world of social networking and posting to the many platforms regularly with up-to-date information is a busy and tedious process for realtors. Managing the ever-changing dynamics of social networking and training their realtors is also no small feat for brokerages," said Robert Davis, CirclePix CEO. "CirclePix helps brokerages and realtors with these challenges by automating the process of creating property sites and videos and then posting them to social media sites."

CirclePix offers broad-reaching social media marketing by creating automated and customized postings for property listings via the major social networking platforms -- YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger (and soon WordPress), and Craigslist. In the past, CirclePix posted Listing Videos to a real estate company's main YouTube channel, Facebook page or blog. Seeing the benefit, many agents also wanted to post their Listing Videos to their personal social media accounts.

Now, CirclePix posts Property Sites and Listing Videos not only for a brokerage's company site or channel, but tailors and posts them to agents' personal sites. Brokerages can generate neighborhood news and it can be posted to the agents' individual sites, multiplying SEO and reach.

In addition to automatically creating customized posts for individual agents on their personal social networking sites, CirclePix generates new postings on a pre-determined schedule, which is determined by the realtor. For example, agents can select a weekly posting on Twitter and CirclePix will tweet five different customized messages, one per week, about a property listing.

Many brokerages and realtors are attempting social networking for marketing their listings and services, to a small and varying degree, but managing the host of different and ever-changing social networking platforms as well as posting regular and relevant content for clientele is daunting for many. In fact, only 9 percent of real estate agents surveyed by CirclePix are utilizing the four major social networking platforms.

"Many times we've been able to help a brokerage or agent begin to utilize a social networking outlet they'd not tried before due to the time, commitment and know how involved in maintaining them. Many clients went from not having a YouTube channel or Facebook page at all to posting relevant communication regularly to a large following and reaching many folks with a single message or article."

The Social Networking Suite is a part of CirclePix STAR Marketing (Simple Technologies Automating Real Estate Marketing). In addition to linking to social networking exposure, STAR Marketing increases exposure by linking property listings to major real estate websites and portals, personal and corporate sites, as well as Zillow, Trulia and Realor.com. Sample listings and the many other benefits of CirclePix STAR Marketing can be viewed at http://www.circlepix.com.
