10Duke provides enterprise social networking technology for the release of Tekla BIMsight by Tekla Corporation

10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms and applications, today announces that the 10Duke Social Media SDK was used in 3 core applications of Tekla BIMsight, an enterprise 2.0 collaboration software platform released by Tekla Corporation, an international provider of model-based software tools for the construction and infrastructure industries.

The 10Duke Social Media SDK technology was used to create a customer social network for Tekla, to link the enterprise social network together with a desktop-based model sharing application, and to integrate customer interactions and input to Tekla’s enterprise systems.

Neil Fenton, founder and Chairman of 10Duke comments: “Social networking is not just a consumer phenomenon. Businesses can also use the same social networking tools to create innovative new marketing channels that allow them to provide accurate and timely product information to existing and new customers. Tekla is ahead of the pack both in terms of its core software products as well as its use of social networking to provide its international customers with a bespoke online interaction channel, allowing those customers to not only communicate and collaborate with Tekla but also with each other. Additionally, the service provides a first line support solution allowing customers to provide support to each other and the technology continually feeds Tekla’s CRM application. The10Duke Social Media SDK has allowed the rapid and bespoke creation of Tekla BIMsight, further demonstrating the advance of social networking into the enterprise.”
