"The platforms themselves are not bridging the gap, so we saw Socialware as a way for companies to do just that." Mike Maples, Jr.Maples Investments
Socialware bridges the gap between the enterprise and social networks to transform the way that companies and their employees engage, connect and communicate with clients, partners and one another. Our solutions allow companies to integrate social around their processes, not the other way around.
Underlying all of our products is the world's first social middleware platform. This missing link connects enterprises' people, processes and systems to social networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Finally, organizations can move from social silos to integrated social business processes.
