    Towards Social Intranets and Enterprise Social Networks: Advanced Intranets & Portals 2012 

    Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

    On May 31 and June 1, Amsterdam will host the third annual congress on intranets: Advanced Intranets & Portals 2012. At a time where the disappearance of the intranet as we know it is being questioned, where Forrester studies indicate that 50% of companies will invest in social business in 2012, intranets need to evolve to become faster, more intelligent, more sophisticated and above all, more social in order to stay in touch with the changing needs and habits of companies and their employees.

    With this premise, Zyncro will be present and participate in Advanced Intranets & Portals 2012 on May 31: our CEO, Lluís Font, will present the enterprise social network, focusing on its main characteristics and components, benefits and solutions: Corporate Activity Stream, document management, workflow 2.0, integration with external social media applications, etc. Furthermore, he will illustrate the ROI of Enterprise Social Networks and some Zyncro success stories.

    What is Advanced Intranets & Portals 2012?

    This event is designed to give an exclusive insight from leading practitioners who have extensive credentials in creating, using and implementing intranets, and who share their knowledge and experience on the key trends in this field for 2012: from social intranets, enterprise social networks, and the increase in use of smartphones, to brainstorming, personalization and knowledge management within companies. In short, all the key issues affecting intranet professionals will be discussed during the intensive and interactive 2-day conference.

    Where and when is it happening?

    Advanced & Intranet Portals 2012 will take place on May 31 and June 1 at Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre, Amsterdam.

    Who is it aimed at?

    Mainly at executives and middle management who are interested in discovering the current intranet trends, sharing their opinions and solving their doubts with the best professionals in the sector, as well as being a meeting point for networking.

    What will be discussed?

    Participating in this congress means sharing issues like:

    • Overcoming organizational, cultural and operational barriers to transform your intranet into a more social tool.

    • Successfully implementing a mobile intranet, creating added value, capturing the attention of those customers traditionally beyond your reach.

    • Creating an in-house platform for generating and managing ideas and fostering collaboration and creativity among employees.

    • Providing a user-centric experience to maximize participation and ensure success.

    For more information, you can download program for Advanced & Intranet Portals 2012.

    Does your company use an intranet? Do you find you have one but your employees don’t use it? Feel like the moment has come for that tool to evolve towards a more social one? Download the registration form and exchange ideas on the evolution of the intranet with Zyncro and other world experts! See you in Amsterdam :)

    The 7 differences between Intranets, Collaborative Intranets (or 2.0) and Enterprise Social Networks 

    Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

    Probably these concepts are already quite familiar to many of the readers of this blog… Probably many of you use them as synonyms or don’t distinguish between the concepts. However, today’s article aims to establish the main differences between these terms and the concepts that they represent. So here we go…

    1. The name

    Different concepts, different names. This is the basic idea of language, although on occasion only people we call “experts” (due to their experiences or knowledge) are capable of distinguishing between these conceptual differences, like the number of different words we can use for a river… brook, course, run, stream, creek, rivulet…

    So the fact that we use Intranet, Collaborative Intranet (or Intranet 2.0, if you like) or Enterprise Social Network means that they are different concepts. Terminological differentiation isn’t free. What is their main terminological difference?

    • Intranet: Technical term made up of “intra” (internal) + “net” (network). Digital space connected in an internal network.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): In this case, we give it a “last name” which gives it a nuance: collaborative and/or social (2.0).
    • Enterprise Social Network: Finally, we refer directly to a Network, which is what matters, the interlinked structure between all its components.

    2. The definition

    According to the terminology difference, we find ourselves faced with different definitions. I’ll try to give you a “neutral” and general definition, using written reference sources (essentially, Wikipedia).

    • Intranet: An intranet is a private network of computers that use Internet technology to share part of its information and operational systems within an organization. The term intranet is used in contrast to Internet, a network between organizations, making reference to a network within the area of an organization.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): The same definition as above to which we add, as we pointed out in the previous point, a collaborative and/or social nuance, meaning that its contents and structure can be enriched collaboratively by its members’ contributions.
    • Enterprise Social Network: In this case, we refer to a network, a space that is structured and completed by the relationships between members of the community and whose contents are provided by the members themselves. All members have the chance to contribute to the collective knowledge, always within (as in the previous points) the scope of an organization.

    1. The issuer

    Since with these three terms we refer to a digital environment in which contents are transmitted internally… who exactly is the author or issuer in each one? Returning to our power of three:

    • Intranet: The issuer is the one defined as the voice of the company: Human Resources, Internal Communication or even IT. The ones that have decided why and what the intranet will be used for.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): In this case, the issuer is the same, however, permissions are given to employees to enter comments, opinions or valuations, to give that touch of “collaboration” in the corporate internal system.
    • Enterprise Social Network: In an Enterprise Social Network, all members of the business network are issuers, authors, voices of the company: employees, partners, customers, followers, influencers, detractors, competition… All contribute knowledge to the project, all help to make the company grow. Be it directly (giving them access to the network) or indirectly, gathering their contributions on the internet (external network) through content tracking systems (Google Alerts, RSS, etc.).

    4. The recipient

    In the same way there is an issuer, in a communicative process there is also a recipient. Who are the contents that are published in each of these corporate digital spaces aimed at?

    • Intranet: At employees. Classical top-down vertical structure.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): At employees, and in some cases, at top management. Giving the option to comment on what the “voice of the company” transmits, this voice can become “heard” and can receive and/or listen to contributions.
    • Enterprise Social Network: At everyone, as the idea is to encourage bottom-up knowledge, not creating information silos, and that the ideas of all employees (especially the productive ones) reach the top levels and vice versa, as on many occasions the vision of management is not properly transmitted to the work teams.

    Combining points 3 and 4… any contribution and collective active listening (“the power of the crowd”) proves to be more enriching than isolated, individual contributions and responses.

    5. The tool

    We could also call this section “technology” and go on for lines and lines by describing each concept at a technology level… But I’m not going to do that. I’ll try to be brief :-)

    • Intranet: (Almost) custom software, normally costly to implement, both in terms of finances, resources (people and technology), and time. Complex configuration, clearly structured functions and difficult to modify. SharePoint or SAP would be a good example of this type of intranet.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): (Almost) custom software, normally costly to implement, both in terms of finances, resources (people and technology), and time, with a “social layer” that adds collaborative features that the software itself does not posses and that would be complex to incorporate natively in the system. This is a hybrid solution. A possible example would be the social layers that are added nowadays to “SharePoint” (including Zyncro).
    • Enterprise Social Network: Software with a social DNA, commonly SaaS that allows horizontal integration, easy incorporation of new users, quick and simple personalization, that incorporates new features and integrations easily, with mobile access, and that in turn has many configuration options (like traditional software) but based on usability and intuition concepts, like mainstream social networks. Giving an example here isn’t too hard… Zyncro is an Enterprise Social Network ;-)

    6. The goal

    In this section, I should probably hand over to Josep Baijet, Director of ZyncSocial, one of the professionals I know with the most experience in implementing the three environments we have looked at and the author of the SocialMethods, the goals sought with the implementation of a internal, social corporate solution. So I’ll summarize what he suggests according to our classification:

    • Intranet: It attempts to establish a top-down communication, act as a corporate document repository and be the point of access for the company’s applications.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): Same goals as the previous but includes the goal of being the starting point for contributions from the company’s employees.
    • Enterprise Social Network: In this case, we should look at the SocialMethods: co-creation, collaboration, conflict resolution, engagement, process improvement, knowledge management, external communication, document management, innovation, training, relationships between people, mentoring, workflow, project management, sales management (leads management and interactive customer service flows), personal productivity improvement. To find out more… SocialMethods by Josep Baijet.

    7. The company

    Last but not least, we need to look at the type of company that looks at incorporating one system or another…

    • Intranet: “Established” companies, normally large scale, whose members still do not feel ready for the change, as they usually have an intranet already which, as we said, they have spent much money, time, resources and effort on.
    • Collaborative Intranet (or 2.0): Companies, normally also large-scale, that are aware of the need for change but that want to do it in a controlled, gradual manner, reusing what they already have.
    • Enterprise Social Network: The company 2.0. An enterprise in which size DOESN’T MATTER. On this occasion, I won’t linger on the details. To find out more about this type of hyper-connected, hyper-motivated, hyper-technological, hyper-efficient company… check out this infograph.

    Conclusion

    I could go on describing the differences for several minutes more…

    • Type of contents
    • Benefits
    • Implementation times
    • People in charge of each project
    • Errors that can be committed
    • …

    But maybe these aspects should belong in a second part of this post. For the time being, what do you think? Are the differences between environments evident? Have I managed to express them clearly? Remember, none of the options is the best or the worst, just different… But nonetheless…

    If you think you are ready to benefit from the best of an Enterprise Social Network…

    Collaborate to grow together 

    Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

    In his book Cognitive Surplus, Clay Shirky helps us understand how Internet communities operate, the reasons why thousands of people share information and knowledge with others and how this could be done thanks to the fact that the social structure of Western society enables greater free time and with it, a “cognitive surplus” allowing us to choose what to occupy our time with.

    Obviously, this exchange between people is possible thanks to the appearance of technologies that allow it; any user on the Net can publish contents, hold a discussion in a forum, share photographs or documents with relative ease. In most cases, only a basic user level is required to do so. In this post (in Spanish), you can read a bit more about the book’s contents.

    Creating an Internet community nowadays is possible and there are many tools to do it: from creating public communities or forums with programs such as vbulletin or Buddypress if the platform is WordPress, to private communities that operate like an Intranet for companies, like Zyncro.

    But what is not as easy is making those communities work and achieve their purpose. For that reason, based on Dominique Foray’s studies (The Knowledge Economy), Shirky recommends four conditions for making a community work:

    1. The community’s size. The size must be directly proportional to the knowledge being shared. As he himself quotes, a community to share versions of Happy Birthday can be much bigger (as anyone can understand it) than one talking about poetry written in Sanscrit.

    2. The cost of transmitting knowledge. In this case, technology as I’ve mentioned previously helps in making the exchange simple and cost-effective. This means that the number of people coming together to share interests has grown, as they can do it from the comfort of their own home, at a low cost, and achieve the pleasure of sharing with others in exchange.

    3. Clarity in the knowledge shared. Knowledge expands quicker in a community if the members are capable of expressing it in a way that is easy to understand: straightforward points, lists, tutorials, etc.

    4. Having a common culture. In this case, culture refers to the shared suppositions of a community on how it should work in terms of the tasks and relationships between members. People not only must understand the shared knowledge, they need to understand each other.

    Therefore, you’ve no excuse for not having your own community or work group on the topic that interests you. It can contain 3 or 5000 members, but the option is there. The best thing is that when we share with others, following these four conditions, the result of that act of sharing can be quite different to what we imagined at the start.

    If I’m left to my own thoughts, those thoughts can only increase as I receive new information. But if I share that knowledge with other people, not only is a quantitative change possible, but also a qualitative change, from which new, transformed knowledge will emerge. So collaborating allows us to grow together.

    Do you have a community you share interests with? Are they generic or specific also?

    Zyncro Features: Search (II) 

    Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

    As we previously explained in the first part of this article, to search in Zyncro, you need to enter the term you want to search in the search box found in the top right corner of the screen.

    In the second part of this article, we’re going beyond the segmented search to show the additional options in the Zyncro search that enables you to get more specific results.

    You can do this in two ways:

     

    Segmented Search

    Enter the search criteria in the search box and when it shows you the results, you can use the fields that appear just below the search box on the right of the screen to refine the search:

    Sections

    You can perform a search on a specific section of your Zyncro by selecting the section and clicking on Filter. Only the items you have selected (messages/files and folders/groups/departments/people) in the section will be shown.

    The sections can be:

    • Corporate newsfeed
    • Departments
    • Personal feed (the users you can see)
    • Private messages (your messages)
    • Your different work groups

    People

    It gives you the option to restrict the search according to the person that posted the item (messages, files, etc.)

    This field is associated with your contacts and when you start to enter a text, it will suggest the users that contain the text entered.

    You can select more than one person in this field.

    Dates

    With this field, you can display the items that have been published in Zyncro during a specific period of time on searching.

    You can choose whether to display items published during:

    • the last 24 hours
    • the last week
    • the last month
    • the last year
    • and it even lets you customize the search period: posts in Zyncro from one date to another.

    These search fields are restrictive, i.e. the number of results shown are reduced according to the combination of criteria entered.

    Advanced Search

    You can also perform precise searches using punctuation symbols in the text field.

    The punctuation symbols that have been enabled for more specific searches are quotation marks and the + sign. They can be used together and separately and their function changes according to the combination used.

    The most frequent search cases are:

    Simple search (without quotation marks or + sign): Enter in the search box Word A Word B Word C – It will show you items in Zyncro that contain any of the 3 words that you have entered in the search box, regardless of the order in which they appear.

    Search using the + sign: Enter in the search box Word A+Word B+Word C – It shows you items in Zyncro that contains the 3 words you have entered in the search. If they don’t contain all the words entered, they won’t be shown in the list of results.

    Search using quotation marks: Enter in the search box “Word A Word B Word C” – It shows you items in Zyncro that contain the exact expression entered between quotation marks.

    These options can be combined to create even more specific and precise searches.

    Zyncro Features: Search (I) 

    Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

    How do I perform searches in Zyncro?

    To perform a search in Zyncro, just enter the term you want to find in the search box (top right corner of the screen).

    The search results in Zyncro will appear grouped according to the different Zyncro sections: Messages, Files and Folders, Groups, Departments/Companies and People

    Beside the corresponding tab for each section, you’ll see the number of hits for the search criteria in brackets.

    Search Results

    Messages: This tab shows all messages appearing in conversations on the Zyncro wall that include the search word. The word is always highlighted in gray.

    The types of message that appear in this section (different according to the user) are:

    • Personal news that you or the people you follow have posted
    • Corporate news
    • Private messages you’ve sent
    • Messages from departments or companies you belong to or follow
    • Messages from the groups you participate in

    Files and folders: This tab lists all the files, folders and Zlinks created for sharing that include the search criteria in their title and that belong to the groups you have access to. Only for Business plans or higher: The tab also includes files whose content contains the search term (text files: TXT, PDF, Word, Excel, HTML, etc.). The term is highlighted in gray.

    Groups: This tab includes the groups that contain the search term in their title. Like messages and files, the term will be highlighted. This feature enables you to find all those groups whose name you can’t remember by using key terms.

    Departments/Companies (depending on the organization’s configuration): This last tab gives the departments or companies whose name or description contains the search term.

    People: This tab shows you a list of user contacts that include the search term in their profile (basic information, experience and skills, etc.) This is the best tool for managing internal talent!

    Next week, we’ll look at advanced search options.

    Learn to retrieve knowledge in your company in a single click!

    Zyncro Customization: Corporate image 

    Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

    How do I get my company to identify with Zyncro as their Social Network?

    Start customizing the interface with your logo and corporate colors!

    When creating your organization in Zyncro, the first step your admin needs to do is to define the corporate image. This option is found in the Administration Panel > Corporate image.

    Zyncro’s graphic customization options

    1. Your company’s logo

    First you need to upload to Zyncro the image (we recommend using a transparent .png) that will be used as a logotype for your organization and that will appear in the top left corner of the header.

    The size is limited to a maximum of 250 pixels wide by 40 pixels high. If it is any bigger than this, the image will be resized.

    2. Header background color

    If you click on the square icon, you can select the color to appear in the header, which is always shown at the top of the screen. If you want define a more precise color tone, you can also edit it using the RGB color model.

    3. Header text color

    Just like the previous option, you can also edit the color of the texts that appear above the header (Help, Language, First and Last Names of the user, Departaments, etc.).

    We recommend you use the corporate colors and combine them in such a way that they are easy to read and attractive for users, taking into account that it’s a web environment.

    Each time you change the logo and the colors in the header, you can preview the changes to check the end result before saving the layout.

    4. Customize the subdomain of the organization and the login page

    Apart from the interface colors, Zyncro contains an option to customize the URL from which organization users can access their corporate Zyncro.

    The default URL for accessing Zyncro is: https://my.zyncro.com/, but from this screen you can configure the URL of your Zyncro, using “https://MYCOMPANY.zyncro.com” instead of “my.zyncro.com”.

    To do this, just enter the name of your organization or any other term you want that can be used as a URL in the corresponding text box.

    If you have changed the image and corporate colors of your Zyncro as well as the subdomain , when you access your customized URL, a login page with your own corporate image will appear.

    This is the login page for our company, Zyncro Tech:

    5. Hide Zyncro links and logos in Zlinks

    Finally, there is also an option to hide the “Zyncro” name in links and logos within Zlinks.

    After making any changes, don’t forget to press “Save”!

    Customize your Zyncro appearance and apply your brand image to your Social Network.
    Win your employees over not only with its content… but also with its design!

    Add your Google Calendar and company events to Zyncro! 

    Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

    If you are tired of having to remind your employees of important dates, we’ll give you a hand!

    We present you with the evolution of one of the Zyncro integrations that we published before the summer: Google Calendar.  This time it has a specific calendar that will appear automatically to all of the users within your organisation.

    Now Zyncro offers you the possibility of integrating a specific calendar FOR THE ENTIRE ORGANISATION in such a way that your intranet users will always be up to date with corporate events.

    How to manage a corporate calendar

    Zyncro presents a 2.0 method for making a unique calendar available to the whole organisation:

    1. Decide who will be responsible for managing the events/corporate calendar within the company.
    2. Create a specific Google Calendar for the company (whether it is using an existing user or using a new generic Google user).  At Zyncro for example, our CTO Albert Sampietro, created a new calendar associated to his e-mail account and called it “What’s up at Zyncro Tech?“
    3. Decide whether the calendar creator will also manage the calendar or if they will be sharing the task with another member of the company.  This is carried out straight from the Google Calendar by accessing the calendar options.

    4. The designated events/calendar manager should enter all significant  company dates into the calendar.

    How to integrate your corporate calendar into Zyncro?

    If you already activated and configured the connection between Google Calendar and Zyncro with the first version of our ZyncroApp, the following steps will be familiar to you.

    To activate the Corporate calendar, the Administrator should activate it from the ZyncroApps section within the Administration panel.

    Once the ZyncroApp has been activated, the Administrator should then link their Google account in the ‘Configure’ section.

    After having clicked the “Connect with Google Calendar“ button, the designated person responsible for the management of the corporate calendar should enter their Google account connection data in order to make the connection.   Remember that this user could well be the Zyncro Administrator if:

    • the Administrator has created a calendar that will zyncronize
    • the Administrator has permission to access the calendar because the calendar owner has shared it with them.

    If the corporate calendar is NOT your personal calendar (the one that appears by default and is associated with your Gmail account), you should exit and re-enter the Configure section of the ZyncroApp and choose to share with your organisation from the drop down list.

    Once activated and configured, the whole organisation will ALWAYS be able to see the organsation’s events calendar.  It will appear as a new tab next to the personal calendar icon if already activated or by default, it will appear as the Corporate Calendar if the user does not already have a personal calendar.

    It’s about time people remembered the important dates of your company!

    Calendarize yourself with Zyncro!
