In a business world where change is constant, knowledge becomes an essential asset for any organization. Survival and growth require the development of solutions that will optimize collaboration and knowledge management.
Focussing on this topic we recently produced our first whitepaper. It analyses the benefits associated with the introduction of Enterprise 2.0 solutions, and positions the collaborative management of knowledge as a stable and lasting solution, especially in these times of economic tumult.

A non-event to me… I would always give preference to Exalead or Ask as an alternative to GG or Y!

“In the past most knowledge management projects failed. Some even say that knowledge management is dead. But the success of social software raises hopes to revive the topic and bring it back on the companies’ agenda. But new tools are often deployed with old concepts - a strategy that will inescapably fail.”

Well, if transparency is one the key benefits of social media, it is probably what makes some enterprise so scary about it!

Well, that summarizes my thoughts quite well. Online storage / backup providers are especially hit by problems recently but others can have problems too, even “big names” like Google had privacy issues with Google docs recently.
So should you avoid SaaS all together ?
Well … even if online SaaS services have some risks associated with them doesn’t mean you’re safer with just your local application on your laptop or a local server on your PME network.
In this particular case, from a data integrity point of view, hard drives in a air-conditionned datacenter are safer than a single external HDD on your desk … For backups, the best option is probably not to rely on a single layer but have both local and remote backups. For more complex services, make sure you have exit solutions in case you need to. And if you become really dependent to a service, check

In my opinion…
There is a lot to be learned here…
- Enterprise 2.0 needs a clear strategy
- It should be supported by Senior Management
- It should be assigned to people who actually understand and master its intricacies
- Networking is the key to many situations
