Qontext Named "Cool Vendor" By Gartner

Qontext, a provider of Enterprise Social Software solutions, has announced it has been included in the list of six "Cool Vendors in Context-Aware Computing" by Gartner, Inc.

A key finding in the report, available from Gartner, states, "Organisations need to understand the principles of context-aware computing to properly filter the increasing amount of sensor, search, analytics, location, presence and social information they can use to enhance applications and user experiences."

While the benefits of using internal social software is gaining widespread acceptance among enterprises, most employees and departments would like to see immediate and sustained benefits. Tangible benefits are realised when social collaboration is integrated within the applications used every day, by preventing loss of productivity due to context switching and aiding knowledge capture and reuse. Qontext does this by providing immediate access to contextually relevant communications and documents right inside and across business applications.
