DotNetNuke Combines WCMS With Powerful Enterprise Social Capabilities That Drive Increased Revenue and Lower Costs for Customers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Next Generation Social CMS Enables Internal Social Collaboration and External
Communities Fully Integrated With Robust Web Platform
SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - May 30, 2012) - DotNetNuke Corp. today announced
the immediate availability of DotNetNuke (DNN) 6.2, a social CMS that provides
organizations the tools they need to easily configure and deploy powerful
internal social collaboration solutions and online communities for customers,
partners and employees. This latest version of DotNetNuke builds on the already
strong Web Content Management System (WCMS) capabilities that have made it the
leading Web content solution in the Microsoft ecosystem. The new release allows
businesses to quickly build internal social networks to improve collaboration,
communication and employee productivity. It also facilitates the creation of
external communities that turn customers into advocates, lowering support costs
and increasing revenue opportunities.
"As one of the most popular independent websites in Canada, we needed a web
content solution that seamlessly supported a modern community model," said
Maggie Leithead, CEO of CharityVillage, Canada's supersite for the non-profit
worker. "We chose DotNetNuke because the social software on the market today
wasn't good enough on its own. We would have had to bolt on point solutions to
get the integrated community experience we now have for our members, combined
with an easy-to-use content management system for our staff. DotNetNuke is
making us more efficient and allowing us to adapt faster to the needs of our
community."
"Organizations of all sizes now have a powerful WCMS combined with robust social
tools -- all at an affordable price," stated Shaun Walker, CTO and co-founder of
DotNetNuke Corp. "Building an effective online community is a proven strategy to
improve productivity and get closer to your customers. With DotNetNuke,
businesses now have the capabilities to deploy online social solutions much
faster, that are fully integrated with their external and internal websites,
without the high cost of customization associated with current enterprise
offerings in the market."
"Fostering a strong community is integral to building an engaging online
experience today and marketers need easy-to-use social tools that are built into
their Web content management system," said Melissa Webster, Program Vice
President, Content and Digital Media Technologies at IDC. "That way, they're
managing users and activity feeds and social content the same way they manage
the rest of the site's content. Social tools are also a boon for internal
collaboration, helping to create highly engaged, effective teams."
Online Communities
With DNN 6.2, companies can build and manage highly functional, revenue
generating websites that enable customer advocates to participate in interactive
communities, form online relationships, publish rich profiles and communicate
through activity feeds, social groups, forums and private messages.
Social Intranets
Businesses also need a similar set of capabilities to encourage collaboration
within the organization to improve employee communication while increasing
internal efficiencies that drive lower cost. An additional benefit to better
employee engagement is increased revenue.
DNN 6.2 Product Capabilities
DNN 6.2 contains a number of new capabilities essential for creating internal
and external social communities:
* Activity feed powering user interactions in a familiar social model
* Social groups and forums increasing team collaboration
* Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social logins to drive community participation
* 'Friend' and 'Follow' controls encouraging social relationships
* Private messaging offering an alternative community communication model
* Interactive user profile with detailed personalization options
* Member directory that makes it easy to find and connect with other people
* Social API allows developers to make their apps social, drive visibility and
usage
* SharePoint 2010 integration makes it easy to publish enterprise documents to
external sites
* Fully localized platform in Dutch, French, German and Spanish enables
customers to work in their preferred language
"While major social media sites like Facebook are great, many businesses and
organizations need their very own community and social collaboration tools
directly on their own websites," said Tom McAllister, sales manager of LRS Web
Solutions®, a DotNetNuke partner. "We are impressed with DotNetNuke 6.2 and the
enhanced integration of so many social tools. This will not only benefit us as
DNN developers but also will help our customers get social sites to market
quickly and affordably."
