Lockheed Martin launches Eureka Streams for Enterprise Social Networking |
Lockheed Martin has launched the Eureka Streams open source project for enterprise social networking.
 Eureka Streams helps knowledge workers make informed decisions by finding relevant colleagues and groups, following their streams of activity, and engaging in conversation. As a new communication experience for knowledge workers, it allows them to pick and choose their channels of news, information, and conversation basis what adds the most value to their everyday work.
Lockheed Martin said that over the past four years, it has developed and deployed proprietary social media solutions across its own enterprise based on commercial off-the-shelf software, and these solutions have enabled employees to collaboratively develop and share content through such tools as blogs and wikis.
Built on open standards and powered by open source, the Eureka Streams Community Edition is licensed to developers under the Apache 2.0 open source license. Lockheed Martin said there were plans to offer editions of Eureka Streams for use by enterprise customers in the future.
"Lockheed Martin drives social media adoption by finding innovative ways to integrate a social dimension into our existing processes and tools," said Monica McManus, Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions, which recently deployed Eureka Streams to more than 36,000 employees.
