As enterprise social collaboration efforts mature, customers increasingly seek to integrate social software with existing enterprise systems. Yet, most tools assume that social networking and collaboration will reside in a separate "place," often a siloed application that notifies you of new activity via yet another set of email alerts.

Though it has the potential to be a game changer, social-as-a-service is much easier said than done. In this webinar, RSG analyst Kashyap Kompella will offer a practical review of vision versus reality.
