As more and more companies make the shift to a digital workplace, employees have to find ways to efficiently work with others, wherever they may be. Join us tomorrow as we discuss how companies are collaborating successfully across siloes, across departments, across the enterprise and across customer bases during our latest Tweet Jam.
The Jam kicks off at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 1800 GMT on Feb. 25. As always, the broader CMSWire community is welcome to take part. Join in by using the #socbizchat hashtag, logging in to our chatroom or through Cover it Live, found below on the day of the chat.
