Forrester TechRadar™ For I&KM Pros: Enterprise Web 2.0

Wikis And Social Networks Are Ready To Deliver High Value To Your Enterprise, Q4 2008

by Gil Yehuda

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

No longer new, Web 2.0 technologies solve problems that enterprises have today — but most have not yet used these tools to anywhere near their potential. Waiting for tools to mature seems prudent, but if you wait too long, employees may create their own collaborative environments on the Web. Timing your next move requires you to track the maturity of enterprise Web 2.0 technologies. In a careful examination of the marketplace and trends for enterprise Web 2.0 tools, we reveal that organizations find wikis valuable, forums stable (though underutilized), and report mixed success with blogs. Enterprise social networking tools stand ready to redefine workplace collaboration, adding new value to your organization's content by associating it with peers and experts.
