Awareness, Inc. Powers Online Community for Oracle Applications Users Group
New Collaborative Web 2.0 Community Drives Innovation and Knowledge Capture for the Oracle Applications Users Group
| Source: Awareness, Inc.
WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2008) - Awareness,
Inc., the leader in Enterprise Social Media, today announced that the company
has built and deployed a Web 2.0
community for the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) called
Knowledge Base. The OAUG is a global organization whose purpose is to
enhance the capabilities of Oracle users in their use and management of
Oracle applications. The Knowledge Base community connects these thousands
of consultant and user members to share and leverage new and existing
knowledge and to promote rapid innovation.
With the Awareness platform, which offers a host of social
media tools including social
networking, blogs, wikis and tagging, the OAUG is creating a forum for
capturing and sharing important company knowledge and information, as well
as enhancing collaboration between users in disparate fields and locations.
The online
community facilitates communication and provides a centralized hub for
users to create, catalog and share knowledge articles ranging from a single
sentence tip or technique to a white paper for re-engineering an entire
business process. The Awareness platform enables users to evaluate and rank
the articles to ensure that the most relevant and helpful information is
readily available.
"The Oracle Applications Users Group is dedicated to continually improving
its knowledge and use of Oracle's myriad solutions," said John Bruce, CEO
of Awareness. "The group's decision to deploy an Awareness online community
is perfectly aligned with that spirit and testament to our ability to
combine the freedom of Web 2.0 with the necessary control of the enterprise
to provide real value to our customers."
About Awareness
Awareness helps companies build and operate branded Web 2.0 communities.
These online communities let customers, prospects, employees and partners
connect with each other and share content. At the core of the Awareness
solution is an on-demand social media platform that combines the full range
of Web 2.0 technologies -- blogs, wikis, discussion groups, social
networking, podcasts, RSS, tagging, photos, videos, mapping, etc. -- with
security, control, and content moderation. Awareness builds these features
into complete communities for companies, or customers use the Awareness API
and widgets to integrate Web 2.0 technologies into their own web
properties. Major corporations such as McDonald's, Kodak, the New York
Times Company, Northwestern Mutual and Procter & Gamble use Awareness to
build brand loyalty, generate revenue, drive new forms of marketing,
improve collaboration, encourage knowledge-sharing and build a "corporate
memory." Find out more at http://www.awarenessnetworks.com.
