"Integral management of all the tools for social networks of my company."

5/5

What do you like best about HCL Connections?

IBM Cnnections is a software that fits very well to my work since it allows me to manage everything related to the social networks of our television channel. Thanks to IBM Connections I have in my work a blog about the content of our television programming, files, user community forums, user profiles that link to our topics in the forums and many more tools that allow me to efficiently manage the interaction of users with the workers of the television channel where I work. All these functions I can measure thanks to the statistics that the software offers me, and thanks to the conclusions that these statistics offer me we can better direct our communication campaigns and design our daily programming. It also has a moderator option that allows me to review the content posted by our users and thus answer questions or edit information according to our business interests. This software is incredible and very useful to develop my daily work activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software has blogs, forums, libraries, widgets, home pages, performance statistics, bookmarks and many other elements that make it the best in the market.

I always say to each one of the members of our fire brigade, "it's not just about having knowledge about extinction and fire prevention, but you have to know how to socialize that information to the population," and this software has been vital to achieve this goal. Every time I use IBM Connections to manage our social networks, we can provide all our knowledge to the population and thus minimize the risk of accidents.
