Corporate needs and environment in mind
Business Applications provide triggers (context) for businessrelated conversations

Context Triggers Conversation
Social Network
When Enterprise Social
Network works
independent of other
business applications,
email continues to be the
choice for conversations.
The conversations on the
Social Network would then
be mostly around generic
topics, limiting the value
they bring to the
organization.
Conversation leads to Collaboration
Business objects in applications are triggers for productive
conversation
CRM
SCM
ERP
