Tomoye’s flagship product, Tomoye Ecco, provides a simple, yet comprehensive platform for creating a community of practice. At the heart of our solution is the company’s proven process for quickly building successful communities. Tomoye’s award winning approach and technology are based on feedback from leading clients and industry experts, as well as emerging social software approaches.

Tomoye Ecco is changing the economics of learning and collaboration in the enterprise. It is now cheaper and quicker to facilitate the connecting of those who know to those who need to know than to have the institution intermediate this process with formal learning, process and training approaches. With built-in strategies to harness the power of all members, enterprises have the ability to seamlessly aggregate the contributions of all community members to derive ongoing value for the organization.

Tomoye Ecco adds value to your existing systems from SharePoint or informal or blended learning programs to other document and content applications.

Built to drive informal learning and based on actual community leader and member feedback, our solution offers the following benefits:

• Get Up and Running Quickly: The purpose-built platform takes the guesswork out of building a community of practice. Community requirements and processes have already been addressed so communities can be up and running quickly, right out of the box.
• Promote Informal Learning: The majority of learning in the enterprise happens on an informal basis, yet resources are still focused on formal training initiatives. A community of practice solution from Tomoye is a unique way for organizations to promote informal learning and training on a day-to-day basis, all at a low-cost per transaction.
• Improve Productivity: Increasingly, workers are required to deal with complex, non-routine situations. Our solution enables organizations to provide knowledge workers with access to knowledge, conversations and other professionals they can quickly access and rely on for trusted information.
• Put Social Networking to Work: Take advantage of your workforce’s interest in consumer social networking applications and put those same techniques and peer-driven approaches to work for your enterprise in order to drive collaborative learning.
