The IBM Social Business offering, incorporating collaborative technology, has ‘future-proofed’ many companies and enabled them to move away from limited, traditional practices. This has ensured that these businesses are able to empower key skill from newer generation employees.
IBM Social Business has been developed to position businesses to be able to leverage off new ways of working and capitalise on more efficient collaboration compared to the email-only approach.
Customer service and employee interaction today is based largely on analytics and collaboration while people are applying new methods of sharing knowledge and using information.
As an IBM Business Partner, local ICT consulting and service development specialist Ukuvuma Solutions is focused on IBM Social Business incorporating IBM Websphere, IBM Connections or the hosted solution on IBM SmartCloud.
The Company continues to press upon the market that in order for businesses to acquire and retain key skills, and stay relevant, they will have to embrace social business.
