Open Text Social Communities (OTSC) is an innovative secure Social Business offering. This month we have released a new version, OTSC 8.2, which brings with it numerous enhancements.
First of all, I would like to acknowledge everyone who worked on this release, this includes the teams in Hyderabad, Austin and Richmond Hill. Great work and fantastic effort!
For me, this release signifies a significant maturing of the product. Customers will notice an enhanced ability to share, discover and connect, as well as a cleaner, better, and more responsive user experience.
With the modern workforce becoming increasingly global, hours becoming more flexible and working from home increasingly common. The Social Enterprise is becoming vital. This release will really help connect your people and bring out the productivity of your teams.
Specifically, OTSC 82 adds:
- Instant messaging and presence detection – helping you stay connected.
- Personal blogging - brining a more human element back to information sharing.
