Contact Networks Adds LinkedIn Data to its Enterprise Relationship Management Solution
Corporate Users Can Now Access LinkedIn Relationships Inside Their Firm’s Extended Relationship Network
Boston, Mass., Nov. 6, 2008
– Contact Networks announced today that its software, ContactNet, now integrates relationship data from the leading public Web-based social networking site LinkedIn. Contact Networks is the global industry leader in enterprise relationship management (ERM) software for professional services firms.
ContactNet automatically maps a firm’s entire external relationship network, uncovering whom the firm knows and calculating the strength of each relationship. This relationship knowledge is of critical value to professional services firms seeking to win new business, retain clients in a difficult market, cross-sell services, or collect competitive intelligence. With the new LinkedIn integration, ContactNet now also includes the relationships that a user has within their personal LinkedIn network. Companies are now using ContactNet’s powerful enterprise software to find and rank relevant relationships firm-wide while leveraging employees’ LinkedIn networks, accelerating their ability to reach all the most valuable contacts and key business introductions.
“LinkedIn is a great tool for professionals to network and make introductions,” said Geoffrey Hyatt, Founder and CEO of Contact Networks. “ContactNet is the foundation of many professional services firms’ ERM and social networking platform. With the LinkedIn integration, we have now made it easier for professionals to find important business connections from their own network and the firm’s network in one unified search.”
