College Recruiters Benefit from Customized Social Network that Connects with TargetX's CRM System

College admissions offices are proving that social networking in the workplace can be good for the bottom line. As long as workers are using "Chatter," a kind of Facebook for employees that provides real-time communication, collaboration and document sharing. The Chatter social network is bundled for free with the Student Recruitment Manager (SRM), a cloud-based CRM system provided by TargetX.

TargetX built the SRM in 2008 on the popular Force.com platform of Salesforce.com, the worldwide leader in customer relationship management and a pioneer in cloud computing. Not only does Chatter offer admissions professionals a powerful and secure means of staying in touch and sharing information with their colleagues, it also ties into the SRM. As a result, users can easily include reports, dashboards, campaigns and other information from the CRM system in their Chatter posts.
