With XCC Internal Communications is made social, i.e. its
content can be liked and commented (unless commenting
is disabled)
Content publishing, liking and commenting is integrated
into the Activity Stream and will be noticed by peers
Content maintenance can very effectively be delegated to
Line of Business, this reducing work load for Internal
Communications
Content masters can not only create and publish content
but curate content too (i.e. publish blog entries from
employees on landing pages / homepage)

5. XCC for Line of Business
Web Content Management Systems are excellent for
communication professionals, but too complex for part time
users from Line of Business
IBM Connections is made for end users without training,
i.e. it is very easy to use and thus “management compatible”
Create Landing Pages for each Business and Service Unit.
Link all landing pages thru one or thru cascading
navigations. Delegate maintenance to Line of
Business managers and their assistants.
Business and Service Units can even have their
own interpretation of the corporate style guide.

to choose where to browse and search content”
