Elcom has announced the launch of The Elcom Digital Experience Platform V12. This release supports the needs of a busy hybrid workforce by simplifying the digital experience and offering additional enterprise tools to unlock productivity and collaboration across the workforce.

According to Gartner, remote and hybrid work will remain a cornerstone of the post pandemic future of work, with 43% of employees saying they would seek other jobs if required to work fully on site. Elcom’s new V12 platform provides organisations with more ways to establish operational efficiencies and collaboration, while retaining talent.

“The digital workplace shift that organisations are experiencing requires a new form of flexible and powerful digital experience solutions to establish modern collaboration and connectivity,” said Ryan Bloch, COO & General Manager at Elcom.

“The new features of Elcom v12 have been uniquely designed to improve how organisations stay connected, productive, and successful, regardless of where their staff are located. The launch of V12 provides cost-effective solutions that enhance engagement, save time and boost productivity, while helping turn data into actionable insights.”

This latest version of the platform builds on Elcom’s existing integration with the Microsoft 365 suite to extend to Microsoft Teams, so employees can engage directly with coworkers without navigating away from their current task. Administrators can add Team Channels on relevant sections across the Elcom site, and staff can easily send and receive Teams messages in real-time, all without leaving the Elcom site.

Elcom v12 also includes Data Insights, a new solution that turns data into real-time, dynamic, and highly configurable dashboards. Administrators can add page elements that visually display data based on site usage by logged-in users, enabling them to quickly uncover helpful insights, easily report on usage and implement improvements to site engagement.

The new capabilities of V12 include:
