Salesforce Chatter.
Not long ago, companies looked down on social media because they didn’t quite understand its full potential. Within the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident how important social media is to any business model, but they’re quickly finding that social media is a useful internal tool as well.
Surprisingly, a social media architect doesn’t necessarily work with Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. These architects build internal social media sites to help different sectors of a company communicate better and work on projects in a new way. These sites allow people to collaborate on projects, share data and train new employees.
Salesforce, the online data cloud companies use to keep track of clients and their data, uses a social media platform called Chatter. Any one from any department can post information or ask a question. It’s internal, so customers do not have access to it, and it allows all parts of the company to connect on one platform.
Mobile technology expert
Perhaps the biggest game changer of any company is becoming a mobile-friendly company. Whether it’s constructing apps or crafting mobile strategies, a mobile technology expert has recently emerged as one of the most sought-after jobs in IT.
These experts are in charge of helping companies use these mobile devices in their jobs and keep them up and running as it is no longer practical for employees in the field to be carrying around laptops. So companies need someone to make sure all tablets and smartphones work correctly wherever their users take them.
