Second Life Grid™ - Your World, Your Way™

Who uses Second Life Grid?

Businesses, educational institutions, government departments, and nonprofits use the Second Life Grid™ platform to create public and private spaces for communication, collaboration, and training in the 3D online virtual world of Second Life®.

Organizations such as IBM, Stanford University, NASA, and the American Cancer Society operate presences on the Second Life Grid that seamlessly integrate their virtual world activities with their real-world operations.

Benefits for Enterprises and Educators

Enterprises and educational institutions often create their spaces initially to hold virtual meetings and classes, simulate products or processes, or provide employee training, all at lower cost. As their spaces and populations grow, they realize that individuals who work together "inworld" collaborate more often and more effectively, and innovate more, at lower costs than in the real world.
