Trampoline Systems Launches World’s First Organisational Intelligence and Diagnostics Tool

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trampoline Systems, the enterprise social computing pioneer, today announces SONAR Flightdeck, the world’s first organisational intelligence and diagnostics tool for managers. SONAR Flightdeck provides strategic intelligence about the informal networks that power organisations so managers can make better, more informed decisions, faster. It brings groundbreaking network analysis techniques to business managers to expose the social networks and information flows contained within everyday electronic communications.

Businesses are increasingly aware that informal, peer to peer networks are the real powerhouse of their organisations. Until now management teams have been unable to understand these social networks because the only information available about them has been anecdotal or the result of specialised consultancy projects. SONAR Flightdeck brings the academic techniques of organisational network analysis to managers to increase their understanding of the businesses they run and improve decision-making.

SONAR Flightdeck automatically displays the crucial social factors at play within organisations including key opinion formers, poorly-integrated business units, emerging communities of interest, single points of failure and third-party relationships. This intelligence is vital to large, distributed organisations needing to improve cohesiveness, collaboration and innovation; mergers and acquisitions teams performing high-risk, low-data integrations; and change management professionals designing, implementing and monitoring change programmes.

Charles Armstrong, Chief Executive Officer of Trampoline Systems, says, “SONAR Flightdeck extends the scope of Enterprise Social Computing by bringing the specialised techniques of organisational network analysis to business users. It derives vital intelligence from the millions of fragments of electronic information flowing around an organisation and presents it in interactive visualisations. SONAR Flightdeck reveals the strategic insight that has long been locked inside everyday communications.”

SONAR Flightdeck is the newest addition to SONAR Suite, Trampoline’s Enterprise Social Computing platform for employees and managers. SONAR Dashboard provides social computing for employees to locate experts, connect and collaborate. SONAR Flightdeck and Dashboard are powered by SONAR Server, which identifies the social networks, information flows and topics within electronic information such as email, documents and IM. SONAR Suite provides enterprise-class security, privacy and integration.
