San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- Leverage Software, the leading provider of enterprise social networking and online community software (http://www.leveragesoftware.com), today announced the release of Social Wiki, a full-featured enterprise wiki which integrates directly into the company's social networking platform (http://www.leveragesoftware.com). Leverage also announced the immediate release of a host of additional features, including YouTube video integration, content rating and ranking, enhanced tag clouds, and thirty-six other improvements.

"What makes this announcement so exciting is that these tools help communities discover fresh ideas and connections," said Mike Walsh, CEO and founder of Leverage Software. "Adding a wiki to a social network is such a fantastic way to help people tap into each other's expertise, collaborate around new ideas, and collectively build a knowledge base together. When you add the knowledge-sharing power of a wiki to the people-centered approach of a social network, the combination allows organizations to explore entirely new ways of innovating and collaborating." Walsh mentioned that Leverage Software customers in the technology industry, for example, were using the platform to invite customers, partners, and employees to work together on new product ideas.

"Online communities are the new face of collaborative innovation," Walsh continued. "We continue to be amazed at the ways our customers use our platform to bring together the top minds within their organization with their most active and engaged customers and partners." Leverage Software currently has over 250 enterprise customers, including Microsoft, Wells Fargo, FrontRange, Callidus Software, Alcatel-Lucent, Ingram Micro, and many others.

The Leverage Social Wiki is directly integrated into the Leverage Community Platform so that community members may utilize the social networking features of the platform (including Leverage's Visual People Map) to identify individuals with particular areas of expertise, and then use the wiki to collaborate and share ideas. The platform also offers a full suite of social networking tools, including groups and discussion forums, real-time chat functionality, file-sharing, an integrated calendar, blogs, opinion polls, and many other features -- all offered as a 100% on-demand service.
