Maybe one of your resolutions for the year is to be more collaborative in your SharePoint environment. To do this, you may want to read “Top 5 Collaborative Apps to Liven up Your SharePoint Environment in 2012.” Collaborative apps are a good way to get your team geared up for the coming year. The author explains:

Think about it.  As we get into the year, we will start getting back to the quarterly sales, the project management, and the ROI decisions.  But, by dropping in some of these collaborative apps we will get folks engaged at the start and can then channel their energy into the more routine and process/project oriented work.

The suggested apps include a news feed, a workplace concierge community, and launching an idea community with discussion, challenges, and contests. Perhaps some lively and engaging apps will help your employees jump back into the game after the holiday break.

To start your collaborative SharePoint year off right with efficiency and enriched information, look to Smartlogic. Check out the Smartlogic full suite of solutions to find what works for you.
