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.

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.

BELMONT, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2013) - Actiance, helping organizations benefit from communications, collaboration and social networking, today announced a partnership with Symantec Corp. to aid customers in managing, capturing, and archiving Instant Messaging (IM), social networking, collaboration and Unified Communication (UC) traffic. As a result of the agreement, Actiance has integrated its Actiance Governance Platform with Symantec Enterprise Vault, and Symantec will resell Actiance's core products: Vantage and Socialite.The relationship provides enterprise organizations an integrated compliance, eDiscovery, and archiving solution that allows for real-time management, active compliance, and contextual capture of messages and data across all forms of real-time communication channels.
The risks associated with new forms of communication, such as social media and IM traffic, are no different than those associated with the collection and preservation of traditional email messages. As courts and regulatory bodies have ramped up sanctions related to electronic communications, organizations need to include social media and instant messaging when devising their information governance strategies. Organizations require a way to provide a tamper-proof environment for the enforcement and validation of full audit trails for all permissible real-time communications.
"The shift in how a business communicates is causing IT and C-level executives to re-evaluate their governance strategies, as retaining social media and real-time communications channels is no longer an option -- but rather a requirement to mitigate risk, especially in regulated industries," said Brian Dye, vice president of Information Intelligence, Symantec. "Symantec provides market-leading archiving and eDiscovery solutions to our customers and by partnering with Actiance, customers can archive real-time communications from a broader set of sources across their organizations. The combined solution provides unmatched control over all electronic communications found within an organization."
Recent legislation, including Financial Services Authority (FSA), the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFED) in the United Kingdom and the Dodd Frank act in the United States, and increased use of social networks and collaboration platforms in the enterprise, is forcing organizations to capture and control various forms of data across a wider range of communication channels. To enable customers to be compliant with the recent and growing legislation, Actiance captures communications across a diverse set of channels.
"The integration between Actiance and Symantec provides the industry key contextual capture and preservation of today's social conversations," said Scott Whitney, vice president of product management at Actiance. "This gives customers the ability to retain, dispose and search for relevant conversations, multiple communications sources and formats, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, and social enterprise software from IBM and Jive, as well as Unified Communications and voice platforms. The result is a lower cost of employee supervision and eDiscovery."
Actiance-Symantec Reseller AgreementThe reseller agreement between the two market leaders comes at a critical growth point for an expanding market. According to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery Software, May 24, 2012, the increased interest in eDiscovery worldwide is evidenced by the jump in vendors' revenue numbers for business outside North America. It rose from 7 percent to 15 percent in Gartner's most recent survey period (2009 to 2010).Much of the market growth is driven by increased regulation which charges organizations with greater information compliance responsibilities. With this in mind Symantec will now be reselling the Actiance Vantage IM/UC bundle, the Vantage Collaboration and the Socialite Enable on-premise virtual appliance and Cloud products.
