New social networking site, powered by CubeTree, fosters collaboration among
utilities worldwide 
WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Eventure Events announced today that attendees at this year`s SAP for Utilities
conference will have the opportunity to sign up for and participate in
UtilityCollaboration, a new social networking website designed to harness the
power of collaboration to fuel innovation. This interactive community provides
information and collaboration tools that will help utilities build a strong
foundation for continued growth and sustainability. 

UtilityCollaboration is divided into several topic groups, some of which will
follow the subject matter at the conference. Through this technology, conference
attendees will have real-time access to presentations, videos and special blog
posts, wikis, chat, search, document sharing, links, tweets, polls, feeds and
featured articles. Another set of topic groups will also be released, which will
allow utility companies to collaborate freely on specific topics during the
conference and beyond. Here, members will share experiences, develop best
practices and work on common industry issues. 

The website is powered by CubeTree (www.cubetree.com) an enterprise social
software provider widely recognized for innovation. CubeTree`s collaboration
suite helps organizations create private, secure social networks that are free
for any number of employees. To help employees collaborate better, applications
like wikis, microblogging, blogs, polls and chat are tightly integrated with the
social network, and included for free. 

"We are excited about our partnership with CubeTree and the ability to leverage
the technology to focus on our goal of enabling collaboration across the
utilities community. This forum really allows for the dialog to flourish and
encourages a collaborative networking attitude," said Steve Sinkoff, president
and CEO of Eventure Events, the company that is producing the event. 

The SAP for Utilities conference is a collaboration of SAP, the Americas` SAP
Users` Group (ASUG) and Eventure Events, and offers an extraordinary opportunity
for utilities to discover the latest SAP for Utilities trends and innovations.
