NEW YORK – January 13, 2009 – SelectMinds, Inc., the leading provider of corporate social networking solutions, today introduced its newest solution, SelectMinds Professional Edition.
Available immediately, SelectMinds Professional Edition allows organizations from the Fortune 1000 to small businesses to quickly and easily launch a corporate social network, enabling communication, innovation, and improved engagement across specific affinity groups (i.e. divisional employees, interns, retirees, small alumni populations, etc).
For Fortune 1000 organizations looking to get started with corporate social networking by launching a focused solution for an initial group, or for small to mid-sized organizations wanting to tap the power of a business social network of their own, SelectMinds Professional Edition is the ideal choice to get up and running fast on a limited budget – while laying the foundation for flexible expansion down the road. By keeping configurations simple, deployment times and costs are kept to a minimum.
Anne Berkowitch, CEO, SelectMinds, commented, “Current market conditions have placed an unprecedented importance on maintaining relationships with current and former employees, particularly as organizations are facing reductions in staff and increasing productivity expectations. Connecting current and former employees through corporate social networks is no longer a luxury but a critical business imperative. Those organizations who embrace it now will find themselves ahead of the curve once the markets recover.”
“In response to the economic situation and continued market demand, SelectMinds Professional Edition was developed to empower organizations of any size to easily and quickly launch their own business social network, realizing immediate benefits for a small investment,” said Michael M. Richardson, CTO, SelectMinds. “SelectMinds Professional Edition clients have the confidence of our nine years of industry experience along with our market leading best practices in business social networking which we’ve strategically built into this solution; it’s simply unmatched in today’s market.”
