10. Aras Secure Social
 Provide context to social interactions
 Connect feedback about a product to the
part, problem report, corrective action
and employees affected
 Introduce security into social
 Collaboration within a product team
stays internal unless you say otherwise
 Make social revolve around product
 Social collaboration is not about what I had
for lunch, but how to improve my products
 Keep social content connected in the enterprise
 Integrations with upstream and downstream systems means
social content is not stuck in one place
