Enterprise 2.0 Conference 2008
by Jevon MacDonald
I am just about to get on a plane to go to the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston.
I will be moderating a panel this year called “Social Computing Platforms: Three Alternatives for the Enterprise”
Social computing platforms integrate enterprise 2.0 capabilities into a single platform (blogs, wikis, RSS, etc.) Three basic choices are available to the SMB and large enterprise. The first is to choose an established large enterprise application vendor’s solution (IBM, Microsoft, Oracle); the second is to choose a startup’s offering (Jive/Clearspace, Thoughtfarmer) and the third is to “roll your own” or build a customized application that provides all the functionality you’re looking for based on components available from the open source community.
I would like to hear from you first. What size of company should go with what type of solution? Is there a 1-size fits all answer?
