Enterprise / Web 2.0 Predictions For 2008
E-commerce Times wrote a summary of the Enterprise / Web 2.0 Predictions For 2008 based on a Forrester article.
Interesting enough most of the stuff that organisations are interested in are relatively cheap. Social networks and RSS is something that any advance geek within the IT department can cook up within a couple of weeks. What I would be interested to see is how and which part of the organisation are companies applying business mashups to. Business mashups is clearly very powerful. With mashup applications going into exisiting data stores and aggregating / manipulating / processing data and displaying to the end user. This is a much cheaper way than doing a full fledge IT transformation.
Another thing that really interest me is whether these initiatives within the company is driven by employees (bottom-up) or by the senior management (top-down). In both cases, the implementation would be slightly different and I would like to know the adoption rate of both the implementation approaches. I believe that 2008 will be an extremely interesting year for Enterprise / Web 2.0 within the organisation. Stay tuned
