Integration
Social data should be integrated, as opposed to living in silos.
Combining social data from the various departments within a company helps each
to better serve customers by gaining more insight into habits, sentiment and
overall social behavior.

Integration of Data
Individual departments should be
monitoring social on the same
platform:
• Promotes free communication
• Single entity houses all data
• Helps to avoid missed
correlations

The Single Platform
For a company to be socially agile, a single platform offering the following
elements will help companies better manage social:
• Scalability
• Real-time analytics and engagement
• Seamless integration to 1st and 3rd party data
• Expansive and comprehensive insights
• Sentiment / Influencers / Trend Analysis / Geo data / Audience Profiling

Sales & Marketing Alignment:
To make social more relevant
Sales & Marketing need to first
align on an overall Social Media
Strategy
This strategy must include both
groups, but is not limited to
them alone . As long as a strategy
is in place incorporating
additional departments is crucial
to overall success.
