Enterprise Social Computing

The Enterprise 2.0 Workplace  Apr 09 2008

The modern workplace is defined by collaboration – whether it’s customer issue resolution, product planning, account management – you name it, meeting your business objectives increasingly involves tapping into colleagues to get the work done. New tools and technologies on the Web, collectively known as Web 2.0, have catalyzed a revolution in collaboration on a grand scale. Enterprise 2.0 brings these benefits to your business: empowering knowledge workers to share community knowledge, find specific expertise, and communicate with others using tools that are user-driven and community-centric.

To learn more about these revolutionary solutions, please join us for a webinar on Wednesday, April 9th at 11 a.m. PT. Our guest speaker, Rob Koplowitz, Principal Analyst from Forrester Research, will talk about the Enterprise 2.0 workplace, and share findings from his current research on what it means for the future of knowledge workers.
Rob will discuss findings and best practices on topics including:

  • Why businesses are embracing Enterprise 2.0
  • How Enterprise 2.0 tools are being used to add value
  • Strategies for on-ramping these new tools into your existing workplace

You will also get a brief overview of BEA’s new AquaLogic User Interaction solution that provides an enterprise-class framework for social applications. With BEA, you can extend your existing workplace tools such as portals, search, and content management into an Enterprise 2.0 workplace.
