Sample Scenario: Partner Community

● IBM SmartCloud for Social Business (SC4SB) provides a big set of out of the box functionality, for example:● Ability to invite guests● File synchronization for offline mobile usage● Communities with forums, files, etc.

● Apps can be developed to extend the SC4SB functionality to implement specific business requirements, specifically:● Workflow functionality / task assignments● Internal discussions



● Zeta Insurance is a fictive health insurance company that sells their products through partners, the insurance brokers

● For the communication with partners a SC4SB community is used● New partners can easily be added as guests● Product brochures are stored in the community as files● Brokers can ask questions about products via forums

● Insurances brokers use the out of the box SC4SB community UX● Web UI and mobile app● File synch to mobile app for offline usage

● The Zeta Insurance support team uses an internal support app● To avoid that multiple people work on same question● To avoid having internal discussions in front of partners
