(visite nuestro website para más detalles. )

Nos embarcamos en este emprendimiento entusiasmados por el crecimiento que el segmento de redes sociales corporativas tiene en la industria (61% de crecimiento anual), el hecho de que se encuentra en una etapa temprana ($ 900 Millones de $ 6.4 Billones para finales del 2016) y los movimientos de los principales competidores nos dieron señales claras que es un mercado con gran potencial.

Algunos de nuestros competidores son IBM Connections, Microsoft Yammer, Jive, Tibrr y SocialCast, la mayoría con crecimientos anuales arriba del 20%, pero sabíamos que necesitábamos un elemento diferenciador y es así como enfocamos nuestra aplicación al mercado de Google Apps, pero además decidimos que Insidey adoptaría en sus funcionalidades la practicidad de vida real; un directorio que facilita encontrar expertos, discusiones y acuerdos son sólo algunas de las características propias.

Desde el inicio del proyecto, hace más de un año, hasta este momento, nuestras motivaciones han ido más allá de tener éxito como start-up, ya que deseamos fomentar en nuestro país, El Salvador, el camino para el surgimiento de más start-ups, convertirlo en un centro tecnológico, en un Silicon Valley de la región, el nuevo Chile, Israel o India, deseamos enseñar a través de nuestros errores y aciertos cometidos, las lecciones aprendidas, y ayudar a crear una inercia de emprendedurismo que genere mejores oportunidades en nuestro país.

Para nosotros es emocionante compartir con ustedes la primicia del lanzamiento de Insidey, en estos momentos el sitio web se encuentra disponible para quienes se quieran informar de más detalles y darle un vistazo a las características y beneficios, les invitamos a subscribirse al blog donde compartiremos noticias de la industria y adelantos de nuestros eventos.

Email is not dead, but for teamworking...

Back in 1971  when  email first ancestor was invented, the original idea was to  just send a message to another person in the same computer, for that purpose a program was developed (SNDMSG), at the same time a protocol  to read and write  files from a remote computer was also developed  (SPYNET), this two pieces of code were combined and the first email program was born.

More than 40 years later, email is still prevalent and very few technologies can outboast from that, email has certainly made its way into human culture and with the advent and comoditization of Internet it  has been embraced  as the main communication method for many years, times are bit different now and millennials are using  it less and less every time, most of them see it just as a requirement for singing up to a social network, why is that, you may think. well for many of us, from the generation X and precedings  its the only way we´re been using for communication and helping us organize our work around, but for them (millennials) its social networks are a more effective way of communicating and sharing, remember, this is the time of cant´t wait, instant and easy access, and that has permeated business too.

One of the  most important shortcoming from email show up when you and your mates  try to do some teamworking, you find yourself and your team's conversations  lost among lots of emails popping up every other second, keeping up with the thread is very hard, and for those newcomers to the conversation almost impossible, as a result your business is less efficient, you loose time, opportunity and many times even money. We agree with you, email just (you know the word) for teamworking.

As we have already stated, business have been influenced by social networks and now you find your team (like it or not) finding their way around using social networks to get their job done, but another shortcoming arises being  confidentiality one of the most important.

Nowadays, you have to embrace a new communication method, one that makes your work teams more efficient, you need to embrace an Enterprise Social Network, which also easies its adoption because its just takes advantage of that social networks inertia but at the same time offers security and confidentiality,

Keep tuned with our blog and the latest news and information about Enterprise Social Networks, you'll discover a better and more productive way to do business.

For Managers, Directors and CEOs: What is an Enterprise Social Network and its benefits for your business?

What are Enterprise Social Networks?

My best, and humble, attempt to describe it in a simple way is “a social network with collaborative capabilities running inside your organization”. From this starting point you can imagine a lot of workers interacting, sharing and working in common documents, well that wasn't too difficult to imagine. But since the “Enterprise” noun gives the whole name the sense that has been created for a business purpose, then you now may be thinking. “uhmm this thing might help me with my work in my organization”.

How you actually do your work

Now that you have an idea of what a ESN is, let’s go deeper and find out what’s for and its benefits. But first let´s see how you and your work teams manage daily in your Job:

You and your workmates use different tools to get all your job done, from email to skype to coordinate and send and receive files; copy-paste to update the last minute changes maybe in your intranet or dropbox; G+. facebook or twitter for communication with outside parties or virtual work teams, each tool provides its own strength. 

These real-world scenario highlights two important things:

1. Social media's undervalued impact within and between organizations.
2. The extended use of these platforms to improvise and organize new ways to get the job done. 

The problem using external platforms

Now, what’s the problem with communicating, coordinating and sharing ideas using this platforms?. 

Since people inside organizations use external platforms to facilitate their work, they expose and leave sensitive information in others’ storage different than yours. Another one is that most of the employees send themselves files to their home emails or use other ways to share important documents. and finally the time consumed (wasted) using unauthorized platforms like dropbox, facebook, twitter, G+, etc

What are the benefits for employees and the organization?

We can finally talk about ESN benefits and I’m going to split them into the ones for workers and the ones for the organization.

For employees:

• They now have a common hub where they find everything they need 
• They can do their work faster and with more efficiency 

For organizations

• Have a controlled, secure and easy platform 
• Have a way to collect, organize and share corporate knowledge in a managed environment 
• Reduce hidden cost from time spent in different platforms and tools 
• Provide not just a communication and collaboration tool but also empower the individuals and teams to achieve faster decision making and foster innovation 

I´d like to emphasize that these last benefits are rarely mentioned, but are from the ones that manage the organization or business point of view even as important as the workers's benefits

The bottom line:

ESN are not just about communication, coordination, collaboration and transparency but about empowering individuals and teams, also about securing and managing corporate knowledge.

Do you have an Enterprise Social Network? why having one is important for your business.

The web 2.0 and the social networks

With the advent of web 2.0 a flush of social web applications have emerged, some of them had their momentum and then suddenly vanished and are now just a memory,  others have been adopted globally and have impacted the way we now interact and communicate with each others, from those, Facebook and Twitter are two popular examples, with more than a billion the first one and nearly 500 millions the second one,  were first embraced in our personal lives, but then also the organizations realized that those tools could also help improve their work and therefore started to adopt within them,  in this scenario twitter was the best positioned  among mainstream media because the product fit into their needs, sadly, in the other hand,  although with a bigger presence, Facebook  failed to deliver what businesses needed. Let me explain it.

The social business model

The social business model is perfect for today´s global businesses, that means they have a dispersed and  virtual workforce with a traditional workplace morphing into shared space. In this model, organizations take advantage of social network behavior for communicating and engaging with inside and outside stakeholders. Employees use  it  to collaborate, stay connected and have access to resources everywhere , the Cloud is perfect for that, and services like Google Apps provides the means to  stay connected, collaborate and share, but  in this scenario conversations are a key component, they are by nature the way we discuss any subject, to resolve problems, to plan, have agreements and organize tasks. Conversations are the engine that makes business run, innovate and reinvent.

Email frozen your company knowledge

In a virtual workplace we mostly use email instead of face to face meetings, but  the problem is our old friend email is not the best choice, try to follow a conversation between you and a couple of mates and you'll see is really difficult, and if we have a  teamwork of five or ten?, what about that new member? will you send him all the related emails? worse yet, if that person leaves your company, the knowledge and information becomes frozen or disappears. A research by Mckinsey Quarterly.reveals that 30% of time is wasted using email.

Social networks are marketing, branding and customer support tools

Another option to your communication problem  are Facebook or G+, but there are other issues, security is one of the biggest concerns, what about confidentiality? if you don't mind making public your internal interactions and strategies go and use them, I think these alternatives will work fine for a club,  a school or  your soccer team.

Enterprise Social Networks the best option.

Enterprise Social Network has anothers features.that FB and G+ lack,  because these are more focused in advertising, that's why you'll see few enterprise features on them, by effect of the customerization these and others social media platforms have influenced a new wave of enterprise software, Cloud Computing has also  a lot of credit, it has made them affordable and  scalable,  and thats good from the customer point of view, you now have so many options, among them Insidey, and as a newcomer has a lot to offer providing  features like share posts, comments and resources among groups so you can organize them and have effective conversations and also have the files you need right there handy. You'll be able to search and see group members and quickly know their information to contact them, launch a chat or video call.

Insidey  will give you a better communication and collaboration environment, you'll see better results in your business processes,workflow and work  plans, your employees and teamworks will experience a boost in engagement, innovation and productivity, finally your company knowledge will no longer be silo-ed.
