I have seen a number of situations where wikis are in the lead. Novell was one that I wrote about earlier in this blog. They have such an immedaite tactical application and, at the same time, demonstrate the value of social media and an open platform. The key is any of these applicatiosn is alignment with a business process. Thanks. Palak

Anyone who's worked in a big business can probably relate to this example: At my company, most knowledge is transfer from the top...i.e. a VP of one business shares his/her learnings with a VP of another. The problem is that this trickles down to the guys in the trenches (doing the real work :) ) only a small % of the time because VP doesn't always remember, guys in the trenches don't ask, can't find time to talk, etc. I believe wikis will provide a easier knowledge transfer platform that makes this information availabe when a person needs it not if/when it is shared at a higher level and if it gets back to that person. In my opinion, this is why wikis stand as the leading technology to bring E2.0 to use. Once wikis become excepted it will be easier to sell blogs, social networks, rss, etc. I believe that wikis can actually provide a much greater use then what is currently available.

We've been working to solve the "long run, more generic open architecture concept and composite applications...that can potentially address more strategic issues," which is exactly what we heard as part of our customer advisory process in our development of Clearspace. Most of our customers had these cobbled together point solutions with content gathering dust and, due to the application's disconnection from each other, they created an impossible, ultimately unusable network of lost conversations and lack of identity for anyone that would contribute. If you guys would be interested in taking a look at Clearspace, drop us a line. We'd love to show you that we think the long-run scenario you point to is here today. :) Sam Lawrence CMO, Jive Software Fantastic article.
