Scotiabank pilots social network for staff

Great use of new tools at ScotiaBank.

Finextra: Scotiabank pilots social network for staff

Canada’s Scotiabank is using technology from Microsoft to introduce an internal Web 2.0 social networking platform aimed at encouraging information sharing and collaboration among its staff.

Based on Microsoft’s Office SharePoint Server 2007, the platform enables employees to share, store, organise, search and manage information using blogs and wikis. As part of the programme, the bank is creating online user profiles for staff members.

  2. I read the article and what jumped out at me was “..banks are largely losing control of discussion about themselves in the ‘blogosphere’.” Building a walled garden with these new-fangled blogs, wikis and online user profiles isn’t going to help in the discussion.

  3. 🙂 Thanks James for that … I saw that post earlier but now I get it. Yes some company’s PR dept’s need to get a bit more creative. However, the implementation nonetheless is significant relative to the Canadian competition.
