Smart CIOs will recognize this and support, rather than ignore or fight the change. That is what I like about this example. Bill Paula – Nice way to position the opportunity.

The same anarchy will occur between employees and the larger organization – when they’re just trying to do their job. In many cases the ‘whole’ is oblivious to the reality people face trying to do their jobs. Without this the true ‘cost’ of the work (being borne by the individuals) is ‘free’ to the company, therefore they don’t place any priority on ‘fixing’ it. 2.0 empowers employees to seek alternatives for those high-cost activities, and allows them to control the solution.

Where Oracle said one year for implementation; our company did in 2 months with innovative framework and tools we had. <a href="http://www.articlessearchengine.com/" rel="nofollow"> Jay </a> Bill,
