Enterprise 2.0: Stay Ahead or Get Left Behind…

Everyone seems to wonder whether Enterprise 2.0 brings real bang for the buck by making daily work of organizations more productive and efficient. While researching the topic, I came across an interesting blog today written by Dion Hinchcliffe, who is a well-known business strategist and enterprise architect.

In this blog Dion compiles a list that covers big lessons in terms of Enterprise 2.0 and what direction it is heading towards. Here’s an interesting excerpt:

Enterprise 2.0 is more a state of mind than a product you can purchase. While a widely covered report from Forrester earlier this year clearly showed that CIOs would prefer to buy one single Enterprise 2.0 suite instead of cobbling together a combination of point solutions for blogging, wikis, RSS consumption, and social networking, the reality is that even the best Enterprise 2.0 suites will be missing key pieces for a long time.

How will we be able to reap the full benefits of Enterprise 2.0? The portability of information, such as what RSS has enabled, has been vital to the growth of Enterprise 2.0 and Web 2.0, but many organizations still don’t fully understand. I’m sure this blog will serve as useful information in order to keep up with this new network-oriented model. Enjoy!
