The foundation, or principle objective, of social customer service is peer-to-peer support &amp;ndash; making it possible for customers to help one another. The value proposition is simple; your customers get faster response times and access to a network of their peers and experts, while your organization benefits from lower costs and higher efficiency. But what part do online communities play?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;A community is an online hub where people with shared interests can communicate, get support, build relationships and be recognized using today&amp;rsquo;s most popular social media applications. And a great example of a company that understands the impact of community is &lt;a href="http://telligent.com/customers/m/success_stories/1347419.aspx"&gt;Kaseya&lt;/a&gt;; its community is focused on providing social support. But why choose community? Kaseya&amp;rsquo;s Director of Social Media and Community, Brendan Cosgrove, noted that Kaseya &amp;ldquo;needed to deliver level one support in a way that was more effective than the existing forum and knowledge base. Kaseya customers work in IT; in this industry, the collective ability and willingness to help is very high. We knew that if we could mobilize customers into one area to collaborate, we would create a win for everyone.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Kaseya and many of our other customers use social media applications in their support communities. For those just starting out and looking to learn the basics, let&amp;rsquo;s take a look at how to use some of these social media applications in a support context.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#005a95;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forums&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The two most common types of forums are discussion and Q&amp;amp;A. Discussion forums encourage community members to post general content which isn&amp;rsquo;t necessarily seeking a definitive answer. In a support context, discussion forums are typically used for people to publish their ideas and get feedback or share their thoughts on a particular topic. Examples include: submitting new product ideas, requesting enhancements and discussing industry trends. Here&amp;rsquo;s a sample discussion thread:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/5734.promethean-thread.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0px;" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/5734.promethean-thread.png" width="391" height="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;(Source: community.prometheanplanet.com)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/customers/m/success_stories/1353563.aspx"&gt;Promethean Planet&amp;rsquo;s&lt;/a&gt; use of discussion threads is a great engagement method in the community. Promethean&amp;rsquo;s Head of Planet Development, Gillian Lycett, stated that &amp;ldquo;our members are delighted with Promethean Planet. They rave about the opportunity to engage with fellow educators, get product support, exchange resources and share teaching tips in one central place.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;In contrast to discussion forums, Q&amp;amp;A forums enable people to ask questions, suggest answers and verify a particular answer as being correct. Typical uses for Q&amp;amp;A forums include problem resolution, how-to guidance as well as product inquiries used to make purchasing decisions. Here&amp;rsquo;s a sample Q&amp;amp;A thread:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/3386.kaseya-thread.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0px;" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/3386.kaseya-thread.png" width="423" height="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;(Source: community.kaseya.com)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#005a95;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wikis&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Wikis are collaborative documents that help people create content with text, images and video. They are often used in a support context for product documentation, FAQs or knowledge base articles. Here&amp;rsquo;s an example of a wiki that&amp;rsquo;s being used as a knowledge base article:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/2185.kaseya-wiki.png"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/2185.kaseya-wiki.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(Source: community.kaseya.com)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Because wikis can have multiple authors, versions of wiki articles are tracked, as well as a history of changes, for future reference. Here&amp;rsquo;s the same article with the version history shown:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/5684.kaseya-2-wiki.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/5684.kaseya-2-wiki.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Quick Tip:&lt;/i&gt; As your community grows, you may find that you need to reorganize some of your content to make it more accessible to members. For example, you may find that a recurring issue or question appears in your forums, but has been answered multiple times, so you want to capture that forum thread to a wiki. Telligent allows you to capture a forum thread - along with the people who contributed to the answer - with a single click. It&amp;rsquo;s a quick and simple way to build a knowledge base that will benefit both your customers and your customer service reps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#005a95;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Blogs are public announcements that are made to a wide audience, kind of like a keynote speech at a conference or a headline news article. One or more authors can create a blog with text, images or videos, and readers can comment on or rate the blog entry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;In online communities for customer service, typical uses for blogs include: product announcements, maintenance notifications, tips and tricks, industry news, subject matter articles written by experts, etc. Below is an example of a product announcement blog which includes social sharing features that make is easy for people to share the article with their networks on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and many more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/3443.dell-blog.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/3443.dell-blog.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;(Source: en.community.dell.com)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#005a95;font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media Galleries&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;File galleries, or media galleries, contain media files uploaded to your community site. Media generally refers to any type of media posted to the community such as graphics, video, documents, and any other form of media that might get posted or embedded. Common uses for media galleries in online support communities include: video tutorials, product guides, picture slideshows from user groups, software downloads, etc. Here&amp;rsquo;s an example of a media gallery that features how-to videos:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/6557.kaseya-media-gallery.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/6557.kaseya-media-gallery.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"&gt;(Source: community.kaseya.com)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Forums, wikis, blogs and media galleries all share a common purpose &amp;ndash; they are vehicles for people to create and share content. Do you have an online community for customer service and support? Tell us how you use social media applications for content sharing. We&amp;rsquo;d love to hear your stories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

One way that Dell adheres to this commitment is by educating and supporting IT professionals who want to learn the technical ins and outs of Dell Enterprise solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;How? Dell created a global online community to serve as the education and engagement hub for IT administrators that provides ongoing advice and resources that allows them to optimize their use of Dell Enterprise products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;In the Dell TechCenter community, members and Dell employees are able to engage in conversations and exchange ideas related to Dell&amp;rsquo;s products, solutions and services on topics ranging from cloud computing, virtualization, storage technologies, networking and many more. The community creates a bridge between Dell&amp;rsquo;s engineers, prospects and customers that enables the sharing of knowledge and helpful information &amp;ndash; specifically, the Dell TechCenter allows community managers and engineers worldwide to provide exceptional support to Dell&amp;rsquo;s international IT customers, expanding its reach to connect with a growing international basis of IT administrators.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/1667.dell_2D00_tech_2D00_center_2D00_01_2D00_post.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/1667.dell_2D00_tech_2D00_center_2D00_01_2D00_post.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Members benefit heavily because the Dell TechCenter offers a world-class community experience via interactive features including blogs, wikis, forums, online events and social sharing. Members can use these features to gain knowledge in a number of ways; a few examples include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Asking how-to questions on a variety of server technology topics in discussion forums&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Watching helpful hands-on, how-to videos that are available in the wikis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Reading over extensive product documentation in wikis that surpass what a standard user guide can provide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Participating in weekly chat sessions with Dell employees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Reading Dell TechCenter blogs written by individuals with extensive expertise in a certain area&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://telligent.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/4571.dell-general.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" alt=" " src="http://telligent.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-05-55/4571.dell-general.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Intel, a world leader in computing innovation, has more than 100,000 employees in 63 countries and serves customers in more than 120 countries. The company designs and builds the essential technologies that serve as the foundation for the world&amp;#39;s computing devices. With Intel&amp;#39;s commitment to technology innovation, it&amp;#39;s no surprise that the company is dedicated to delivering cutting-edge social collaboration solutions to employees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The infrastructure of a company the size of Intel is comprised of dozens of workplace productivity tools, which serve specific purposes: document management, process workflow, conferencing, instant messaging, mobility, identity and access management, etc. The list of tools is long for a reason &amp;ndash; one tool alone won&amp;rsquo;t meet the needs of the business. So where does enterprise social software fit into the mix?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Enterprise social software improves productivity and collaboration by bringing together these tools into an integrated user experience that encourages people to share, expand and exchange information. The social enterprise doesn&amp;#39;t require employees to go &amp;ldquo;someplace else&amp;rdquo; to collaborate; it provides an immersive experience that delivers information to employees and connects them to people within the organization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Intel will be one of the companies sharing the benefits of employee collaboration at our upcoming user conference&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href="http://telligent.com/bigsocial/"&gt;The Big Social&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;.

Advancements in technology that connect people to people, and to information, are making it quicker and easier than ever before to speed communication while opening up avenues for ongoing discussions in today&amp;rsquo;s K-12 schools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.issaquah.wednet.edu/"&gt;Issaquah School District&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;in Washington is pioneering an open education system that unites teachers, parents and students through an online social community. Through community, they are able to discuss upcoming school events, have ongoing discussions about classes, find assignments and stay involved on a year-round basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;By using a social platform to power communications, Issaquah is leading the nation&amp;rsquo;s school districts with a smart, sustainable approach to education that comports with the realities of today&amp;rsquo;s expectations for online engagement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Students want to access their homework and school news online. Parents want to connect to teachers and find important information online and via mobile phones. Teachers want a central area for communicating key updates to parents and students.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;We look forward to the evolution of Issaquah School District&amp;rsquo;s innovative approach to education.&amp;nbsp; For more information about how a social community can help your organization, find out more about&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://telligent.com/products/p/community.aspx"&gt;Telligent Community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;, the social application that allows organizations to engage external audiences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://telligent.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1352357&amp;AppID=555&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://telligent.com/company/news/b/teamblog/archive/tags/Customer+Success/default.aspx">Customer Success</category><category domain="http://telligent.com/company/news/b/teamblog/archive/tags/education/default.aspx">education</category></item><item><title>Congratulations to Bentley Systems, Recipient of Top Honors at the Construction Computing Awards</title><link>http://telligent.com/company/news/b/teamblog/archive/2011/01/25/congratulations-to-bentley-systems-recipient-of-top-honors-at-the-construction-computing-awards.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">92d67afb-f426-4529-b1c0-df597f24068f:983c2048-84dd-4681-b1c8-fb2c65022ad7</guid><dc:creator>John Rabara</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Way to go, Bentley!
