This is the first post in what will become a series of entries on the sorts of collaborative technologies that companies use for their employees to keep each other in the loop. Every company approaches this decision with a unique level of comfort and desired openness. For example, some organizations are fine with public solutions like Facebook; others prefer restricted, enterprise-grade services like Yammer or Jive; and still others are most comfortable with traditional Outlook email.
To start off this series, I posed some questions to a representative from AMD about the kinds of technologies they use and why.
1. What specific service(s) does AMD currently use for maintaining collaboration and correspondence between employees?
[AMD] We still work primarily through email and SharePoint but have been slowly transitioning to Jive as our enterprise social network.
2. When did AMD start using this tool?
