With the advent of RIA technologies (Rich internet Applications) it is possible to deliver a very rich experience within a browser. It is hence no surprise that a lot of Enterprises are adding these capabilities for their business users with a promise of providing seamless, interactive and rich experience for their enterprise applications from within their intranet. This has given rise to a big push for adoption of enteprise dashboards which allows business users to interact with data that sits in the data warehouse in real time, anytime and anywhere from their intranet.

Most of the RIA applications focuses mainly on prividing a rich content in a browser platform and Enteprises simply publish it to the intranet and give access to a few Senior managers for this dashboard content. The senior managers then collaborate and discuss around insights they derive from this information with their peers using traditional email , face to face discussion or phone call.

The problem is the ability to discuss around the data collaboratively through email is limited and so effective multi user collaboration on a common topic is not achieved effectively. This is the missing link that we at Platform46 plan to address with our “Social Business Integrator” product by fitting ourselves into various RIA applications and intranet front pages and provide ability to collaborate with peers around insights derived from the dashboard such as for example “Why is Region X doing better than Region Y?” This enhances sharing of information across multiple levels of the organization, breaks silos and enhances team work.

Social Business Integrator can provide the ability to fit itself in as a widget or frame within a existing Enterprise dashboard application or intranet front page and the same view can also be configured to get feeds and information from any other existing IT systems such as CRM, ERP to provide real time unfiltered streams of events and information at the right level of granularity to the intranet users. By combining RIA technolgies for use to build Enterprise dashboard along with Social Business integtation, Enterprises can truly make their dashboards live by fully engaging their most important asset i.e. Employees of the organization to share information and work more effectively with each other.
