Through NGES, Spencer Stuart employees can access content from both
internal (enterprise applications and repositories) and external (news and
blogs) sources through NewsGator Enterprise Server and have it delivered
through Microsoft OutlookŪ clients and Microsoft SharepointŪ portals.
Later this year, the firm plans to automatically subscribe its search
consultants and associates to all of the relevant RSS feeds they need
regarding a company, its executives and news in the industry and have them
be delivered directly to a folder in Microsoft Outlook. This will allow
employees to receive the most relevant information they need to do their
jobs without having to understand RSS.
"Delivering relevant, timely information in an easy-to-consume way is a
challenge in most enterprises, but RSS is a great way to solve this
problem," said Trapper Markelz, senior project manager at Spencer Stuart.
"NewsGator's product allows users to gather this information in an easy,
manageable way."
"In today's business environment, accessing content from a growing number
of different sources can be an overwhelming and inefficient process," said
A.V. "Sandy" Hamilton, NewsGator's executive vice president of sales,
marketing and business development. "Spencer Stuart understands the value
proposition that NGES brings to the table by providing its consultants with
the tools they need to stay on top of breaking market and company-specific
news."
Why NewsGator Enterprise Server
Spencer Stuart selected NGES because it contains four features which allow
it to immediately realize the benefits of RSS in the enterprise:
-- Outlook/Exchange integration;
-- Active directory integration;
-- Cross-device/interface synchronization; and
-- API access for programmatic subscribe/unsubscribe functions.
"Other offerings we researched couldn't provide the comprehensive features
of NewsGator," Markelz said. "NewsGator was the only company offering a
full-featured, server-based aggregator that could live behind the
firewall."
