ESNs focus on the
employee and allow you to
instantly connect,
communicate, and
collaborate with people from
across your

4. Different organizational functions sit in different systems (for example, Sales
sits in customer relationship management (CRM), Finance in enterprise
resource planning (ERP)). This often prevents employees from connecting with
each other.
Email silos the information shared between small groups of people, which are
typically those you work with on a daily basis. This prevents information sharing
across the organization.
Traditional systems do not allow you to tap into tribal knowledge or easily locate
expertise across the organization.

ESNs allow you to connect with anyone in
the organization, no matter what

occurred, accessing others’ expertise and
tribal knowledge.
