IBM Connections Engagement Center (früher bekannt als XCC)

“We are very happy with XCC, it has become a total game changer for our use of Connections.”

 

Mr. Sigthor Hilmisson, Head of IT Departement, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Iceland

“We really had some problems with user confusion and irritation after launching IBM Connections due the user interface. Landing Pages and Communities based on XCC solved this problem completely and increased user acceptance significantly.”

 

Georg Probst, Director Business Engineering Infrastructure, Lantal Textiles AG

“IBM Connections stiftet auch dann bereits Nutzen, wenn Anfangs nur einige Arbeitsgruppen aktiv damit arbeiten. Für nicht so affine Mitarbeiter werden die Informationen mit Hilfe von XCC sichtbar gemacht. Somit werden alle Mitarbeiter mit Informationen versorgt und können sich langsam mit IBM Connections vertraut machen. XCC beschleunigt damit extrem den Einführungsprozess.
XCC lässt sich schnell und einfach einsetzen. Es ist für alle Firmen interessant, denen PortaIlösungen zu umfangreich sind, die aber dennoch nicht auf eine strukturierte Oberfläche in IBM Connections verzichten wollen.“

 

Sven Bradtke, Head of IT, OstseeSparkasse Rostock (OSPA)

“XCC is the perfect compliment for IBM Connections, this solution made the project possible and we are really happy with the results so far. It is really easy to customize with almost no technical skills required.”

Santiago Suarez Mesa, Consultor T.I. Mercadeo, GRUPO FAMILIA

With XCC the launch of IBM Connections was much more effective. The XCC based Intranet landing pages are a communication channel to our managers and simplify onboarding of our employees to IBM Connections. XCC has increased acceptance of our Intranet and is an indispensable tool for us.

“To get the most out of a social software application it should be seamlessly integrated in the work environment of users. (…) TimeToAct takes this trend further with their new solution out of their IBM Connections lab: Web CMS Extension for IBM Connections.”

“The Web CMS Extension for IBM Connections provides a seamless integration of different content into your IBM Connections platform. Through the built in applications, user groups with access to the editorial communities can create content which will then be displayed on a consolidated custom homepage. External content like a corporate newsfeed or a Google Weather widget can be offered on the custom homepage as well.”

“The acceptance for our new intranet based on IBM Connections and XCC is very high among our employees. XCC is used by corporate communication as an information platform for communicating internal matters towards employees. IBM Connections is used as a platform for collaboration among employees. Information and collaboration platform are perfectly integrated into a user-friendly and powerful intranet. Collaboration across departments has grown significantly. Both new and experienced employees appreciate the new intranet very much.”

“Felix / Philipp, in a off-time minute (during a break) I installed XCC in our acceptation environment. Everything went smooth, no problems during the installation.. (like you said).”

“Felix, we are now using XCC in the new Connect v 5 environment. WOW, what a cool extension to Connections. Great job !!”

R. Angioni Saxion, University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands

“VAUDE has had an conventional intranet with a web content management system. It worked OK for our internal communications. However, the content from line of business outdated / decayed quickly. We were therefore looking for an alternative Intranet platform. As a medium sized company we wanted to avoid running multiple platforms for communication and collaboration. We were searching for an integrated or hybrid intranet platform that spans collaboration, knowledge management and internal communications. IBM Connections convinced us as a superior collaboration and knowledge management platform.”

Manfred Meindl, Manager Intranet and Online Marketing, VAUDE

“Felix, I do not think you will have problems selling your product once people figure it out. Your product completes IBM Connections. As you say in your marketing material it provides the top-down communication that overlays IBM Connections so that the employee has no other place to attend to. They get the top down via your product and the bottom up via IBM Connections. Employees do not have to go anywhere else, everything is in one place.”
