As I’m sure most people have read all the blog postings relatable to the discussion whether Enterprise 2.0 is “sexy or not”, Ross Dawson decided to post his comments.
He mainly focuses on business processes. He divides them into two main categories.
1) The Easily Repeatable Process (ERP)
These are processes that handle anything from human resources, parts and products in the supply chain, also distribution and production. SAP is one of the main players in this.
2) The Barely Repeatable Process (BRP)
The BRP is when it can’t be done through a computer. In most cases, this is like anything that involves forms and waiting on someone that has to get back with you. In this process, a lot of valuable information is lost in translation.
Enterprise 2.0 is going to be best used and developed to form collaboration and compile knowledge that will result in product and strategy innovation along with service excellence that is different from. Enterprise 2.0 can do this by utilizing the Web 2.0 tools that are out there on the internet.
Ross believes the key point to all of this is that enterprise 2.0 is not sexy, but it does bring people together to and allows for free thinking and innovation that does not happen on a normal day to day basis. This is an exciting process that is soon going to become standard in the business world.
