Awareness, Inc. Powers Online Web 2.0 Community for JetBlue

WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - April 29, 2008) - Awareness, Inc., the leader in Enterprise Social Media, today announced that the company has built and deployed an internal Web 2.0 community for JetBlue University, the airline's main training function, so that crewmembers can share best practices on how to train other JetBlue crewmembers. The implementation is the latest step in JetBlue's social media strategy, and the first to leverage the Awareness platform and Web 2.0 tools.

With the Awareness platform, which offers a host of social media tools including blogs, wikis and tagging, JetBlue University is creating an entirely new medium for capturing and sharing important company knowledge and information, as well as enhancing collaboration on projects between employees in disparate programs and locations. The online community facilitates communication between the faculty members at the company's three core training campuses: Flight crew training in Orlando, Florida; operations and technical crew training in Queens, New York; and reservation training in Salt Lake City, Utah.

"JetBlue is committed to fostering the most collaborative workplace possible, and encouraging crewmember input and creativity is a key element of our success," said Murry Christensen, director of learning technologies, JetBlue University. "Awareness serves as a strategic partner in helping us continue to innovate and give our crewmembers an easy and fun way to share their experiences, turning traditionally siloed knowledge into shared knowledge available to everyone in the company. We selected the Awareness platform due to the technology's ability to scale as our training needs grow, and its enterprise-ready features that enabled us to easily deploy it in a secure way."

"JetBlue has a reputation of innovation and leadership," said John Bruce, CEO of Awareness. "Their deployment of an internal Web 2.0 community to foster knowledge-sharing and peer-to-peer training of their crewmembers is consistent with that reputation. We're pleased to be working with JetBlue on this and follow-on Web 2.0 initiatives that will directly benefit their business."
