Going social at Stockland with SharePoint 2010 and Newsgator - free Webinar 6 June #intranet

Last week in my article on Selecting Enterprise Social Network tools, we published some details and the first available screenshot (below) of the Stockland SharePoint 2010 + Newsgator intranet, 'StockXchange'.

Now, in a free Newsgator webinar on 6 June, you can get an in-depth view on the project and site from Stockland Intranet and Usability consultant, Emily Staresina. 

This project is notable for a number of factors, including the significant work that went into designing a bespoke environment in a strategic, user-centric fashion, not just adding Newsgator Social Sites to the mix and letting it grow. Little details such as deep intergration with the staff directory, custom 'follow' buttons, even the language used throughout was considered and refined for the internal audience at Stockland.

Here's the full rundown for the webinar: 

Social collaboration has become an imperative at Stockland – one of Australia’s leading diversified property groups who develop and manage a large portfolio of residential communities, retirement living villages, retail, office and industrial assets. So why social; why right now? As the company began to redefine its organizational purpose, Stockland wanted to establish better ways to communicate and collaborate internally, take advantage of the growing use of social tools, and they were also about to engage in an upgrade to their SharePoint platform from 2007 to 2010. During this one-hour webinar on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 at 10 am EST (GMT +10 hours), Emily Staresina, the Intranet and Usability Consultant with Stockland, will discuss the business drivers that triggered Stockland to begin their enterprise social networking journey, the technology solution they chose, the challenges they faced, the key lessons they learned, the success they have seen so far, and the future next steps for the company.

You can now register for this free event at the Newsgator site and why not help us spread the word to demonstrate one of Australia's best social intranet examples to date.
