The Top Reasons Companies Block Social

Media at Work - A survey

Employee misuse of social networking sites can have a potentially costly impact on

business. Business leaders have expressed rising concerns about risks such as:

Misuse of confidential information (80%)

Misrepresenting the views of the business (71%)

Inappropriate non-business use (67%)

Disparaging remarks about the business or employees (64%)

Harassment (64%)

Perhaps the biggest concern is that social media is wasting employees’ time.

Social Media is Linked with a Drop in

Productivity

More than half of employees waste an hour or more at work every day, social media

has become their second-biggest time waster (after news sites).

One-third of the U.S. workforce uses social media for at least an hour each workday.

Social media can also disrupt workflow.

Nearly half of all employees get interrupted at least every 15 minutes, and almost 60

percent of these interruptions involve digital tools such as social networks or switching

back and forth between windows.

Many companies are choosing to block social media access at work because of the

fear of employees misusing it resulting drop in productivity.

What is Facebook at Work?

An enterprise social networking platform built for employees within an

organisation to communicate among co-workers.

Things you share using your work account will only be visible to other

people at your company.

Facebook at Work gives you a chance to make a work account that is

separate from your own Facebook account.

With a Facebook at Work account, you can utilize Facebook instruments

to collaborate with the firm.

Things you share utilizing your work record might be accessed effeciently

by other individuals at an organization.

Facebook at Work - An Enterprise Social

Network

Facebook at Work is built around 4 main pillars:

Profiles, Groups, News Feed and Work Chat. These

core features allow companies to make

information flow and break barriers within

organisations.

Typically Facebook at Work can replace internal

newsletters, intranet announcements, chains of

emails and of course meetings.

TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE APP

Linux & Apache

Linux is a Unix-like PC working framework portion. It's open source,

exceptionally adjustable, and useful for security. Facebook runs the Linux

working framework on Apache HTTP Servers. Apache is likewise free and is the

most mainstream open source web server being used.

MySQL

Facebook uses MySQL for the database as a result of its pace and

reliability. MySQL is utilized essentially as a key-esteem store as information is

arbitrarily disseminated amongst an extensive arrangement of sensible

occasions. These sensible cases are spread out crosswise over physical hubs

and burden adjusting is done at the physical hub level.

PHP

Facebook utilizes PHP on the grounds that it is a decent web programming

dialect with broad backing and a dynamic designer group and it is useful for

fast cycle. PHP is a powerfully scripting dialect.

Memcache

Memcache is a memory storing framework that is utilized to accelerate

dynamic database-driven sites (like Facebook) by reserving information and

items in RAM to diminish perusing time. Memcache is Facebook's essential

type of storing and eases the database load.

Cassandra (database)

Cassandra is a database administration framework intended to handle a

lot of information spread out crosswise over numerous servers. It powers

Facebook's Inbox Search highlight and gives an organized key-esteem store

with consequent consistency.

It helps to manage the load of the website and also serve contents at the

faster rate. It also serves photos uploaded and handles billions of friend

Benefits of Facebook at Work for

organisation

1. Online Meetings, Video Conferencing and Webinars

The features offered by Work Chat definitely makes Facebook at work an

indirect competitor of online meetings and video conferencing

software's such as Cisco's WebEx, Citrix's GoToMeeting or Google Hangouts.

The main advantage behind this to ease the work environment in the

organisation within a single application.

2. Video Management

Hosting and sharing videos have been an issue in most companies I've worked in.

Despite the need, very few are actually willing to invest in an internal video platform.

Facebook at Work is video-ready and is able to deliver on that promise. Facebook

Live would also allow employees to record and store video on-the-go from any

smartphone.

3. Instant Messaging, Team Communication and Chat Bots

Work Chat is the central feature for instant communication.

Like Cisco's Jabber and Microsoft Lync, it is ridiculously easy to reach any co-worker within

the company and create a one-to-one or many-to-many conversation.

The implementation of chat bots in the near future would also bring a new layer of

productivity to Work Chat. The success of slack has definitely opened the way for

Facebook on that matter.

4. Apps

Adoption in the workplace is all about integrating into an existing environment. Apps

would be a good way to solve that.

Facebook at work provides a solution to it by integrating with Office or Google Apps

would definitely come in handy for employees.

5. Virtual Assistant

It is a major component of Facebook's 10-year road map. And we know Menlo Park

is already working on M, a virtual assistant. It would be interesting to see how this feature

would be implemented in the corporate world.

Drawbacks of “Facebook at work”

Identity and access management

Users rely on their consumer Facebook profile to create a work account.

E-discovery, archiving and litigation holds

Enterprise has its own rules regarding data retention.

Analytics

It shows the number of users, groups, logins and posts per week.

Pricing and Ownership

Companies will want to understand the cost to prevent Facebook from

proliferating.
