REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 27, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BroadVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:BVSN), an innovative provider of online commerce and business social networking solutions, today reveals the rapid momentum that Clearvale, its new Enterprise Social Networking (ESN) solution, has experienced in just three months since launch. Users have eagerly embraced the ability to implement new secure business social networks, with over 2,000 networks created and adopted in the 12 weeks since the product's initial launch. BroadVision(R) Clearvale is offered as an on-demand, cloud computing, Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, enabling BroadVision's business portal, e-commerce customers and other organizations to take advantage of powerful new Web 2.0 technology specifically designed for business, delivered in a social portal.
The rapid proliferation of consumer social networking (CSN) services such as Twitter and Facebook has paved a new way for users around the world to interact and communicate. Global organizations have seen the widespread interest, rapid uptake and potential benefit of these new tools and are seeking to adopt them for business use. However, while many organizations have embraced CSN as a media strategy for branding and lead-generation purposes, most are still struggling to figure out ways to harness Web 2.0 technologies for their own ESN applications. This is due to the fact that essentially all of the now familiar first generation social media tools are focused on an individual's ability to network with friends, family and acquaintances, not on companies, organizations, or project teams trying to achieve work-oriented objectives and goals.
The Clearvale(TM) solution is specifically designed to address this problem. Leveraging BroadVision's 16-year history of knowledge and experience in designing, delivering and deploying enterprise portals, Clearvale has been innovatively engineered to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-use, ESN service delivered in a social portal. Users are able to quickly and effortlessly set up team or business networks, create profiles, and then select from a wide range of standard and premium services as necessary for their work. An open environment, Clearvale also provides users with the ability to implement certified third-party applications, while maintaining the reliability, scalability, performance and security required of traditional enterprise software solutions.
"After a thorough examination of other products, including Ning and SocialText, Clearvale offered us security, functionality we were seeking with easy setup, and a dynamic interface," says Dusty Fisher, Communications and Marketing Online Manager at Exampla Healthcare.
