Hitachi launches Global Social Collaboration Platform

Hitachi Data Systems Corporation has announced the launch of an online social platform, Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) Community, powered by Jive Software. The HDS Community will enable customers, prospects, partners and employees to openly collaborate to innovate with HDS solutions. It is designed to offer businesses all around the world a new way of working, allowing them to learn, share and develop their information solutions with HDS executives in a secure and engaging environment.
 
The new HDS Community enables members to make faster, more informed decisions based on conversations and access to resources. These resources are on topics such as training, implementation of HDS solutions, dealing with unstructured data, and compliance. Members are motivated to participate through rewards and recognition, enabled through Jive Gamification, which rewards users for high-value behaviours such as asking and answering questions, and downloading and sharing content.
 
Barry Morrison, Vice-President, Global Accounts and Systems Integrators, Hitachi Data Systems, said, We continue to invest in the way we provide world-class service and support to our global customers. Many of the enhancements that we have incorporated into the programme are a direct result of customer and partner feedback. We really look forward to continuing our close collaboration with our customers and systems integrator partners.
 
The Hitachi Data Systems global accounts and system integrators programme also launched the first customer-focussed area within the HDS Community. It will allow the HDS global teams to improve communication and collaboration with customers and partners, who will be able to engage with the HDS experts in a very open dialogue.
