Come join us in for this
Challenge-the-Expert Program which will bring leaders in the Web
2.0 and enterprise space together with our innovation community
to explore the “homeruns” for enterprise-level business solutions
based on Web 2.0 technologies and philosophies. We thank SAP for
its sponsorship of this program.
We recognize that “Web
2.0” – that is, the next generation of the Web -- is a fuzzy concept,
promising more effective collaboration, adaptation and integration.
As we look to Web 2.0 technologies and solutions, we can envision
new paradigms for interaction among users, services and devices.
Web 2.0 also embodies a new mindset for application users, developers,
assemblers and administrators, a mindset oriented towards building
communities that share code and experience, experimenting and evolving
rapidly. Even for enterprise environments, there is emerging interest
in rich interactive clients, collaborative development and evaluation,
social networking, semantic web, accelerated deployment, adaptive
integration frameworks, and web feeds. Join us in challenging our
experts and in sharing your views about the requirements, challenges
and benefits of Web 2.0 technologies and solutions in the enterprise
space.
Key
Themes for our Discussion
- Which problems do
Web 2.0 technologies address well for enterprises?
- Are these technologies
a good way to solve those problems?
- Which Web 2.0 capabilities
are enterprise customers requesting?
- What competitive
opportunities and threats do you see based on Web 2.0?
- In what timeframe?
- Which emerging technologies
and methodologies associated with Web 2.0 do you believe will
be significant for enterprises, and which do you believe are not
appropriate for enterprise environments?
- Are companies taking
actions to understand and introduce Web 2.0 technologies, and
how high a priority is adoption of such technologies?
- What are the barriers
to adoption of Web 2.0 solutions at the enterprise level?
- How can the industry
help you surmount these barriers?
