Sogeti to use Social Media in Ireland

-lobal IT services company, Sogeti has implemented a Social Media platform to boost collaboration across 20,000 people spread across 200 offices in 14 countries including Ireland. The new service called TeamPark uses social networking tools to share knowledge and collaborate virtually around technology, services and clients. TeamPark provides tools such as personal profile, communities, blogs, wikis, discussion forums, file share, bookmarks and activities. "We have adapted social media techniques to make it even easier to access skills and advice which an organisation of 20,000 people possesses," commented Declan Kavanagh, CEO, Sogeti Ireland. "It is a process which allows a large organisation to harness the benefits of 'crowd sourcing' amongst its employees across countries and disciplines." TeamPark enables all Sogeti employees to find and connect to the right person within the Group, wherever their location, against parameters such as work experience, interests and professional position.
