How to activate a numeric partner’s network ?

SUN Microsystem is a company of more than 33.000 people around the world that provides IT products for software servers.

SUN leads a technological program for startups. In 16 month this initiative has created a community of 200 innovative companies.

SUN wanted to develop in the web the exchanges between the members of a community.

SUN chose Jamespot.pro as a communication platform for its community.

Implementing the solution

The OSS community has been decomposed as follows: 1 administrator whose role is to add new users and preside over the debates; 8 SSEE "Sun Startup Essentials Evangelist” whose role is to animate the spots and serve as referents; and 200 users: the community members. The steps to implement the solution were the following:

  1. Name definition / colors/ theme
  2. Spot/users selection (Excel)
  3. Service presentation to the OSS
  4. Launching evening

The implementation didn’t take more than one month between the first meeting with SUN and the launching evening.
