CEO Puneet Gupta to demonstrate Connectbeam’s enterprise 2.0 social bookmarking and tagging technology

Mountain View, CA — July 22, 2008 — Connectbeam, a leading provider of enterprise social software applications, today announced that its CEO and founder Puneet Gupta will present at the prestigious AlwaysOn Stanford Summit to be held July 22 through July 24, 2008. The Stanford Summit showcases the industry’s most innovative companies, eminent technologists, influential investors and journalists during the two-and-a-half day event.

Gupta is one of six selected CEOs of enterprise companies to present on July 24, 2008 at 10:45 a.m. Industry experts will comment on the companies and Gupta will be available for Q&A immediately following the presentations.

Connectbeam offers an enterprise social search and discovery application that helps people access the growing pool of employee-generated information created in blogs, wikis, RSS feeds and internal documents. Using universal bookmarking and tagging, information is aggregated into a single repository that everyone in the company can access.

"Without a doubt, Web 2.0 technologies like wikis and blogs have amassed collections of information within companies that is highly valuable," said Puneet Gupta, Connectbeam’s founder and CEO. "However, much of this information is trapped in silos that cannot be widely accessed. Connectbeam makes it easy to share this information across the entire organization, giving employees immediate access to knowledge and expertise that they previously never even knew existed. We’re pleased to demonstrate at AlwaysOn how our solution helps companies extract real value from this category of user-generated content."
