There are over 50 different community platform providers. In this crowded industry, you need to strengthen your analytics offering. Also, time to market is key to maintaining a competitive advantage.
The communities that you provide enable a rich social network for your customer's employees and customers. Embedded in these social networks is vital information about the hubs, brokers and influential members. Any community analytics offering must provide authority and influence score based on industry standard methods such as eigenvector centrality and HITs.
One challenge surrounding these social network metrics is the poor performance when data starts to exceed several hundred thousand users. Whether you are an enteprise deployment or a SaaS vendor, you need a solution that can calculate these metrics in minutes, not hours.
If you are a SaaS vendor, a high performance server solution such as Sonamine will save you from having to buy and maintain unnecessary hardware in your datacenter.
