Neudesic, a Microsoft National Systems Integrator and Gold ISV Partner, announced that the newly released Neudesic Pulse (News - Alert) 2.1 is packed with new features that extend the power of social partnership via integration with UC systems. It uses open SIP standards and integrates with UC systems to further Neudesic's vision of creating a social fabric for the enterprise.

According to the company, Neudesic Pulse is enterprise social software that becomes a hub for employee collaboration and business system integration. Users can share ideas, projects, files, feedback, and receive instant answers – anywhere, anytime. The new version features UC integration that carries additional out-of-the-box integration points along with SharePoint, CRM, Office 365 and Exchange, as well as any business system.

The company claimed that Neudesic Pulse knows how to easily connect with users’ systems via RSS, ATOM, or our REST API. This makes it extremely easy to surface system events to a wider audience of users. All of Neudesic Pulse’s features can immediately be added to any application that supports basic HTML. For example, if one wants to add rich microblogging to their ERP system, they can simply rely on Pulse. Now companies seeking to establish a social fabric across the enterprise, whether in the cloud or through on-premise deployment, can benefit from Pulse 2.1's UC integration, as well as all the powerful collaboration features Pulse already offers.

Neudesic added that the solution delivers maximum flexibility to customers and allows social conversations to occur in the context of applications used by enterprise employees.

Officials with Neudesic commented that many of their customers have made investments in unified communications platforms like Lync and want to unlock scenarios that are relevant to their business objectives. For example, users can now follow a document or any artifact in SharePoint via Pulse and be alerted to changes, add comments relevant to it in CRM, and at any time, escalate it to a Lync session.
