IBM surveyed 1,160 business and IT professionals to understand the state of social business adoption to take a pulse on how organizations are tapping the power of social technologies to advance business objectives.

Our research found the value of social business increasing within an organization. As a result, 46% of the companies surveyed increased their social business investments in 2012.   Companies that are emerging as social business leaders are applying the technologies to drive customer-facing activities such as lead generation, sales and post-sales service.

Don’t be left behind!  Have you started?!
