Constellation Research pioneered the complete set of front office and back office use cases for social business in 2010. This report provides insight into a key –mega-area - lead to deal use cases. Social business initiatives have gained acceptance as a key driver in business innovation. Since 2010, organizations have experimented and successfully deployed social business initiatives across a variety of business processes. In Constellation’s recent 2013 survey of 237 social business adopters, more than a majority (57.8 percent) of the market leaders and fast follower respondents had moved from experimenting with social business initiatives to scaling them to match demand. This trend signifies the successful growth of social business across a number of use cases.
With over 50 use cases identified in the survey, organizations now have defined entry points to begin social business initiatives. Consequently, many businesses can learn from the experience of market leaders and fast followers.
“After talking to 100’s of early adopters in social business, we felt it was time to put together the best practices to share with our clients. What’s amazing is the correlation between social business success and alignment with business processes. The result is this first of eight reports and the related workshops we’ll be offering in Constellation Academy” said report author R “Ray” Wang.
This report fits into Constellation’s business-focused research themes: Next-Generation Customer Experience and Consumerization of IT &The New C-Suite.
