Webank, who are breaking new ground in the world of social media, have chosen
Clearvale Enterprise for a Web 2.0 Ecosystem for their Social Intranet and for
several other Social CRM initiatives.

In choosing BroadVision–s Clearvale, Vittoria La Porta, Public Relations and

flexible boundary between our internal and external stakeholders, and Clearvale
was the clear choice to enable us to achieve our goals.–

an exciting and challenging project to work with an industry leader and leading
light in the world of social business such as Webank, allowing us to showcase
our cutting-edge technology and to enable Webank to become even more receptive
to the needs and wishes of their customers.–

Clearvale? Enterprise–s ecosystem capability will enable Webank to create
multiple public and private networks for employees, partners, and customers,
all in the cloud and as interconnected as they wish them to be, allowing them
to share knowledge and content at multiple spaces and levels, whilst removing
the need for isolated silos, and offering the ability to easily navigate from
network to network throughout their entire business.

Webank have used Clearvale to launch an innovative initiative: the –Wepad
Project– – www.wepadproject.it – where 6 experts brainstormed every week for 4
hours over the course of 6 weeks, with the aim of producing an iPad application
to take their interaction with their customers to the next level and to
ultimately save them time and money. Each brainstorming session was broadcast
live via a webcam and participants were encouraged to contribute by uploading
comments, videos and feedback. This was an exciting, interactive and
thought-leading initiative that once again places Webank ahead of its major
competitors.
