Japan’s mobile social network, GREE has deployed a private partner social network to manage its global game development process.

GREE has built a private partner social network on the Force.com platform to manage information on 2,500 partners, their applications, and the entire development process.

The global network was developed on cloud computing firm salesforce.com’s social enterprise platform, Force.com, according to GREE.

Salesforce Chatter acts as a key component to the collaboration process where Salesforce Chatter is salesforce.com’s private social network that enables GREE employees to collaborate with partners and other employees across geographies, teams, and hierarchies.

With Salesforce Chatter, GREE employees can get real-time feeds on applications and development schedules as well as find experts in any subject.
