What is an Enterprise Social

Network (ESN)?

Social networks focus on the

individual and allow you to

instantly connect and

communicate with people

from across the world

wherever you are.

ESNs focus on the

employee and allow you to

instantly connect,

communicate, and

collaborate with people from

across your

organization

wherever you

are.

Different organizational functions sit in different systems (for example, Sales

sits in customer relationship management (CRM), Finance in enterprise

resource planning (ERP)). This often prevents employees from connecting with

each other.

Email silos the information shared between small groups of people, which are

typically those you work with on a daily basis. This prevents information sharing

across the organization.

Traditional systems do not allow you to tap into tribal knowledge or easily locate

expertise across the organization.

ESNs allow you to connect with anyone in

the organization, no matter what

department they are in or what business

application they use. They also enable you

to search conversations that have already

occurred, accessing others’ expertise and

tribal knowledge.
