SITEFORUM and HR.com Unleash New Virtual Event Platform & Universal Search Function

(I-Newswire) September 7, 2010 - Social community software provider, SITEFORUM today announced that it is working with HR.com, the largest social community dedicated to human resources, with 192,000 members, and a leading provider of online events to create a new virtual event platform and universal search function.

HR.com’s new virtual event platform, called VIEW, is the only platform on the market that makes it possible to design and integrate show floors, booth templates and designs, offering users and show producers ultimate flexibility in producing virtual events, user conferences, and career fairs. Additional functionality enables exhibitors to customize their booth and receive real-time reporting. Unlike most other virtual events, the platform is built on a social networking platform, supporting integration to sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, making it easy for users to add content. “Show producers can now produce a show in minutes rather than days” says Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com. “It’s all about ease of use, time to market and value-add for our HR community.”

HR.com is successfully using the platform to run online human resource conferences on a variety of topics about the industry.

HR.com co-developed its virtual event platform with SITEFORUM, a high-end international SaaS provider, who provides social networking software to firms like McDonalds, Ingenico, IIR/Informa and 365greenexpo.com.

“HR.com continues to drive innovation and functionality for all social networks and sets an example that should be looked at by all publishers and associations,” says Dirk Schlenzig, CEO of SITEFORUM.

Alongside the launch of a new virtual event platform comes the launch of an enhanced and universal search function that allows users to search for articles, forums, human resources blogs, whitepapers, and all other content on the site.

Context and relevancy are a big issue for HR professionals. They need timely information and a place to communicate and share with their peers. The expanded search functionality enables users to pinpoint exactly what they are looking for, while the new points and reward engine announced previously recognizes them for their contribution to the HR community.
