Although many vendors aspire to the Information Workplace (IW) platforms market, participants in Forrester's IW survey clearly expect the next-generation content/collaboration/portal/office productivity platform to come from today's leading collaboration platform vendors: Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle. Respondents to our September 2005 IW survey were divided on whether IT or business (or both) would drive adoption, but they agreed on surprisingly short adoption time frames — more than half said that they would implement IW platforms within one to five years. Early interest in IWs is coming from industries in which traditional knowledge workers make up a large portion of the workforce; however, a majority of respondents think that the IW will also support workers outside of traditional office jobs.
