Hello Partners,

As part of my new role on Connect managing the Archiving and eDiscovery Community (and Partner Community) I've just learned about a new set of documents created by the EV Content Council that you may find helpful:

You can find the necessary information on the various accounts and users that are involved in an Enterprise Vault environment, as well as the permissions required by each.

In January, the Symantec Partner Communication team hosted its first ever Google+ Hangout. It was a great success and a great way to connect face to face with partners and customers.

  • Licensing scenarios for Backup Exec V-Ray Edition

I’ve written before about the importance of building a LinkedIn presence for your business. And that is because LinkedIn is primarily a professional network, where there are opportunities to build relationships and sales leads unavailable on other networks like Facebook or Twitter.

One way that you can help to build a community of peers and prospects for your company on LinkedIn is by creating and managing a group. If you aren’t familiar with them, LinkedIn Groups are a feature of LinkedIn related to users’ professions, industries or a shared interest. Within a group, members can start and participate in discussions.

How to start your LinkedIn group
Your company can start or sponsor a group, which can allow you to build long-lasting...

In today’s business environment, companies move at a rapid pace to provide customers with the best products and services—especially on social media. In times of a national or worldwide crisis when an event dominates online conversations, you need to be conscientious of what your company says on social channels—your own and others. A tweet that promotes your brand or uses inappropriate language during a sensitive situation can result in backlash from your customers, which could not only impact your reputation, but also affect sales.

To maintain a positive social image and relationship with customers, here are five social media best practices to consider during a crisis:

  1. Review scheduled posts immediately. If you use a system to schedule posts in advance, review scheduled posts from both corporate and personal accounts immediately. Don’t use inappropriate words for the situation and avoid communications that could be...
