Sosius, the new leader in online collaboration and professional networking, today announced the release of Expert Finder, a new search tool that enables Sosius community members to locate and connect with experts in almost any field. This industry-first offering underscores Sosius’ commitment to providing businesses and professionals with a feature-rich collaboration platform that integrates business social networking to streamline information management and maximize professional networking opportunities.
Expert Finder allows Sosius members to designate themselves as experts by adding expertise keywords to their profiles. All users can then leverage the platform’s extended tagging functionality to locate these skilled professionals across the Sosius network. Delivering a one-of-a-kind search functionality built upon Sosius’ social networking platform, Expert Finder helps SMEs and large enterprises to grow their businesses through a flat, connected environment. Businesses of all sizes seeking assistance in projects can search across their own organizations as well as Sosius member organizations for subject experts and carefully select the right intelligence to help them continue to drive innovation.
“Our decision to select Sosius’ online collaboration and social network offering was based on the breadth of collaborative and interactive functionality that their platform offered our London-based post-production studio,” said John Rogerson, founder and managing director of Halopost.tv. “Sosius’ new ‘Expert Finder’ provides a comprehensive search tool that will allow us to ‘drill down’ and locate someone, based on a variety of search criteria, offering a level of depth that we have yet to see in any other offering. We look forward to continued use of Sosius’ platform to help us remain competitive against our industry’s larger, more established players.”
Since its launch three months ago, Sosius has gained rapid momentum, recently signing 8,000 users. As the first online collaboration environment to integrate business social networking as a core part of its platform, Sosius facilitates true user empowerment and Collaboration 2.0. With Sosius, users can create an unlimited number of workspaces and invite others to join and collaborate through a powerful set of document management, database and project management tools. By simplifying the organization of personal and professional information and task management through a single, consolidated interface, Sosius increases workplace efficiency, reduces redundancies and streamlines workflow.
“As more and more businesses add their networks to the Sosius platform and begin to connect with each other, the opportunities for information sharing and professional community building are endless,” said Andrew Cameron-Webb, founder and CTO of Sosius. “The end result is a web of highly valuable networks and a vast pool of experts at your fingertips.”
