Oliver Marks, writer for ZDNet, reports on our new Telligent Analytics 3.0 product:

Telligent is significantly beefing up its analytical strengths with a preview of new capabilities in that area: ‘Harvest Reporting Server’ now becomes ‘Telligent Analytics™’. They are also rebranding version 5.0 of their Community Server as ‘Telligent Community’ and  Community Server Evolution version 2.0 now becomes ‘Telligent Enterprise’.

I’ll get into more details soon about these offerings once I’ve had a chance to gauge reaction here in Boston at the Enterprise 2.0 conference. What seems to be clear however is the need for facts and figures that will help demonstrate usage of these platform collaboration tools. Jive customers now also get SAP business intelligence on tap from the cloud.
 
Rob Howard, Telligent’s founder and chief technology officer: “Social computing alone does not drive our product development…Telligent‘s strategy is to provide a platform where social computing, enterprise technology and traditional communication come together to break down information silos and enhance measurability both inside and outside the organization.”
 
Measurability and ROI are of course big topics this week, but it’s tough to apply metrics to tacit knowledge capture. Telligent’s Analytics contains new features to identify top influencers within a whole community or within groups and expanded reporting functionality to enhance organizational decision-making.
 
These are all good ways to move enterprise 2.0 up the value chain in the enterprise 1.0 world.
