BroadVision Recognised by Experton Group as a Social Business Rising Star
Clearvale Awarded Status for Its In-Depth Social Business Knowledge and Points
of Integration
LONDON, Jan. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BroadVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:BVSN), a
leading provider of e-business and engagement management solutions, today
announced its position as a "Social Business Rising Star" in the Experton
Group's Social Business Vendor Benchmark 2014 report. BroadVision earned
recognition in this report for the Clearvale® enterprise social networking
solution based on its functional scope, extensibility, go-to-market strategy,
and customer target segment approach.
"Clearvale has enormous development potential based on in-depth social business
knowledge and integration layers, which are essential for professional use
cases. BroadVision takes great efforts in the development of Clearvale and
includes an option to connect via a German data center and therefore matches
German security concerns quite well," said Heiko Henkes, Manager Advisor at
Experton Group AG.
According to Experton's report, the market for social business for communication
and collaboration outpaces cloud computing as an IT and business driver in
Germany with a compound annual growth rate of 50 percent by 2016. To meet the
demands of this growing market, BroadVision has created new cloud hosting
options which allow various instances of Clearvale to be hosted in-country
through a secure environment to fulfill requirements related to data control and
security for Germany and German-speaking countries. With these options customers
have total control over their data and its location while still retaining the
flexibility of a cloud-based solution.
"BroadVision is proud to be named a 'Social Business Rising Star' by the
Experton Group. We believe this distinction further affirms our continued
momentum for Clearvale across the globe," said Ian Heggs, EMEA Director Business
Operations at BroadVision. "This award validates how Clearvale is helping bring
businesses even closer together to improve communication by creating an
environment for which users can collaborate seamlessly and securely."
