挑战
Superior Group 是一家提供劳动力生产力解决方案的公司，该公司发现，由于内部沟通和协作工具过时，其全球员工感觉与总部、地区办事处和彼此之间缺乏联系。该公司的内部网已成为自上而下的事务，员工参与度很低，而且员工缺乏随时随地进行沟通的有效工具。远程办公人员与同事和公司应用程序的联系有限。主要的协作方式是低效的电子邮件，IT 员工难以管理不断增长的附件库。这些因素阻碍了公司实现其生产力目标。

解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，Superior Group 转向成为一家社交企业，通过连接员工实现普遍通信、文件共享和社交协作。该公司评估了几种解决方案，包括与 IBM Sametime 软件、Microsoft SharePoint 和 Jive Software 集成的 IBM Connections 软件。经过广泛的评估，IBM 解决方案胜出。主要原因是 Connections 软件易于使用的社交、移动和文件共享功能；Sametime 软件强大的即时消息传递功能；以及易于定制和管理。IBM 首要业务合作伙伴 Avnet, Inc.（原 Ascendant Technology LLC）帮助确保了顺利实施。
