"This is the first solution I've seen that takes a fully integrated approach. I've looked at a lot of [competitor] platforms. They typically pick one area of the social business problem - but the problem is that it's a complete enterprise transformation that's needed, both internally and externally. Companies don't have to figure it all out at once. They need a complete platform that allows them to get there in phases, making incremental improvements over time to allow for adoption and culture change."
