Salesforce Chatter, which is available as a part of BMC\u2019s second release of its cloud-based IT Service Management application, BMC ServiceDesk on Force.com, allows IT help desk analysts to follow other analysts, incidents, broadcasts, and FAQs through a familiar, Facebook-like social networking tool complete with profiles, feeds and groups. Chatter enables these help desk analysts to collaborate on resolutions, share information and files, archive conversations in the knowledge management system and ultimately solve incidents more quickly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cSalesforce Chatter represents the next phase in cloud computing where mobile and social networking tools are employed to empower enterprises to new levels of productivity through collaboration,\u201d said Kendall Collins, chief marketing officer at salesforce.com. \u201cAdding Chatter to BMC ServiceDesk on Force.com enables collaboration and mobility across the IT department, resulting in higher productivity.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Since its inception, over a thousand companies have signed up for the free trial or demo of the cloud computing solution, which will help them increase the value of IT operations and improve customer service without significant investments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cThe addition of Chatter to BMC ServiceDesk on Force.com will help streamline communication and collaboration among our IT department,\u201d said Eduardo Don Jr., CEO of Lumen21, an IT consulting firm in Santa Ana, Calif. \u201cFurther, the adoption of Cloud 2 capabilities positions my company to be more effective and responsive and can translate to us being more competitive overall.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe advent of collaboration solutions is one of the most important trends in technology today and is changing not only the efficiency, but also the culture of business,\u201d said Paul Avenant, BMC\u2019s senior vice president of products and support for Enterprise Service Management. \u201cChatter embraces this future and enables an unprecedented level of collaboration in our offering.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
