Enterprise 2.0 Map and Comments
Monday: June 4, 2007 6:49 PM
FistPartner has produced an interesting map of these technologies that we commonly refer to as the Enterprise 2.0 market Map. This is very good map that will force you to think about your implementation as well as how you would alter the map to represent your own organization.
Welcome to the FirstPartner Enterprise 2.0 Market Map. Enterprise 2.0 is a term which many struggle to define and understand. We have therefore developed this market map to articulate the different attributes of this emerging sector. In 5 years from now, we firmly believe many of these tools and elements captured will have been consolidated by the larger enterprise software vendors.
Again, this is a great tool but it does have a few issues.
1. The authors do not include any enterprise software solutions by the major vendor community like IBM, Oracle, or Microsft. For most major corporations, these tools may have a dominate position. Excluding them seems elusive at best
2. The “Discovery” section seems to have some gaps including classification systems, tagging, book marking, and usage based discovery like “most downloaded”.
3. The “Communications” also may have gaps by not including forums, discussions, rss generation, situational applications, Intranet, workflow, presence, rating and ranking systems.
4. The final omission comes from the lack of integration discussion. Today, we have tools that do multiple things. That is to say that our wiki software also allows for personal spaces, tagging, blogging, and document management. Additionaly, we have multiple tools that do the same thing. That is document management may be done in the collaborative space, in the wiki, in the blog, or the profile area. How this will be reconciled is no small task.
All that being, said it’s worth a look.
