Socialcast by VMware

Socialcast connects people, conversations, projects, and key business activities in a centralized workspace so people can find information faster and get work done.

• Unified Workflow. Everything you need to connect with people, find information and work on projects is all in one place so you can focus on the things that matter.
• Socialcast Reach. Embed social collaboration directly within your intranet, Microsoft® SharePoint® or other CRM, Help Desk, or HR business systems to create a unified platform for getting work done.
• REST APIs. Customize Socialcast to make your community more engaging and meaningful. Create applications in any programming language and take advantage of the OAuth 2.0 authentication protocol for increased security.

Socialcast provides a comprehensive set of security and data integrity features to keep your community data safe and in compliance with company policies and industry regulations. Many companies within highly regulated industries, such as healthcare, financial services, and government trust Socialcast as their social platform. With On-premise or SaaS deployment options, IT can choose which solution works best for your business.

Socialcast Projects allows team leaders assign action items and owners, set timelines, and track deliverables. Teams work seamlessly, without spreadsheets, emails, or status meetings.
