I have just installed your plugin at http://www.leckhamptononline.co.uk and it works great. Could you let us know the easiest way add your button to the default BP login box please.
I have installed the plugin, and set up application on twitter. However i can’t see where i put in the pin from twitter. The message below is all the options I have under Settings | Twitstream in bp. After I have authorised on twitter I get a pin, but where do I put this?
I think it depends how you define enterprise software.
In my experience working with Local Authorities in the UK, BP will be more than adequate to improve communication internally and externally. We are doing projects with Local Authorities/social care/health in the UK where out of the box BP would be 200% better than what they currently have. There key drivers for our customers are flexibility, speed, departmental control.
They normally aren’t looking for project management, document management as they already have expensive process driven software systems in place that are controlled by corporate IT. When we pitch we are not pitching that BP will do everything, indeed i would argue that it shouldn’t do document management, that’s not it’s strength. It should focus on improving the things it does really well.
I agree. We are doing a number of Stakeholder Engagement programs with Local Government in the UK. The #1 driver for our customers is improving communication throughout a geographically diverse workforce. Local Government is awash with failed intranets/collaboration websites, with ms sharepoint the most common platform. There is big opportunity to build discrete tools like you say (project management/document management etc) on top of wordpress, buddypress. Buddypress will win because it’s focused on engagement not transactional processes. Getting the community engaged is the real challenge and Andy P and the wordpress team naturally understand that.
