Rather than list off a "top ten" list of predictions for 2009, I thought I would briefly layout some topics and areas that business and IT decision-makers should pay attention to when formulating Enterprise 2.0 Enterprise 2.0: The need to focus on non-technology factors rather than the underlying tooling was a consistent theme during client visits and telephone inquiries plans: Critical Decisions For 2009 "SharePoint

The reason this quote came to mind was the result of a recent blog post Oracle's View On Enterprise 2.0 So what do Einstein, Snowflakes and WOA have to do with Enterprise 2.0? Enterprise 2.0 Two key points are further explained in McAfee's Enterprise 2.0, Einstein once said, "It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience." where Billy Cripe from Oracle and Susan Scrupskie from

We did an internal exercise recently that produced a list of the advanced features we think are crucial for a successful enterprise social media platform. The idea is that functionality for user participation across every owned venue should draw upon a central system, enabling a multifaceted approach to CRM, data analysis, reporting—and ultimately leveraging distributed corporate efforts to generate enterprise business intelligence. I’ll share the results of that exercise here, with the caveat that this is undoubtedly a partial list only. Your comments and suggestions are welcome, of course! I helped think through this some of this stuff, but the bulk of the credit (including for the writing) goes to my ZAAZ colleague Ariel van Spronsen.

The article below is interesting in that it does call out a dark truth - enterprise adoption of feed syndication tools has been lacking. However, There are a host of reasons why Enterprise RSS has not taken off yet (vs. The first concept to understand is that the key focus point for Enterprise RSS is not the reader - it's the feed syndication platform (the server back-end) that provides centralized administration, feed management However, the article disappoints because it gives too much credit to feed readers as the reason.

Enterprise 2.0 The industry can identify a "portal market", an "enterprise content management market", and even a "collaboration market". However, when it comes to Enterprise 2.0, If we are thinking in terms of a solution space, perhaps that's a better descriptor - but the word "market" should probably be avoided when it comes to Enterprise 2.0. A partial list of points-to-ponder: is not a "market": A market should have some common definition along with identifiable boundaries that can be measured with metrics (many of which would be related to financial

Two videos, very informative... Tags: Enterprise 2.0 Gary Koelling and Steve Bendt at BIF-4 Blue Shirt Nation was launched in 2006 for Best Buy associates. It is a corporate sponsored social network site that is voluntary, open-source, operates outside of the corporate firewall and is moderated by its users.

Products are neither Enterprise 2.0 From a deployment perspective - Microsoft adopted an explicit bottoms-up effort to sell SharePoint 2003 within large enterprises. Few organizations back in 2003 adopted a formal enterprise-wide, top-down approach. The localized manner in which organizations rolled out SharePoint is the primary causal factor to the micro-silo and information Thomas Vanderwal posted an article on Microsoft SharePoint 2007 that has caught traction on other blogs ( Sharepoint as a Gateway Drug to Greater Efficiency... ) and on Twitter.

Given the economy, and restrictions on travel in many organizations, the Enterprise 2.0 conference still managed to present many stories from "real people" doing "real stuff" under the banner of "Enterprise 2.0". Kishan Mallur, Director, Information Technology, Infrastructure Services, Harvard University I did a quick pass through "by day" view and thought it would be nice to call out these individuals (as well as their respective organizations) and thank them for taking the time to come to Boston and share their experiences.

For the most part I agree but we're still in the phase were vendors are hyping the benefits and not being transparent regarding some of the "non-fun" aspects of making these systems acceptable for large enterprise environments. I don't address the conflict these tools will have with enterprise IM/UC systems but that's another decision organizations will have to address - and will UC vendors respond in a "good enough" fashion to keep these tools from gaining any type of long-term traction. Some good points in this post from Adina Levin (Socialtext). I
