Synergise IT

I have always believed that the game industry is one area the enterprise can really learn from. I have always marveled at how dozens of people can connect to one server, play online shooting games and a click on one end of the world is being transferred IMMEDIATELY to the other end of the world real time and all these includes High-resolution graphical movement, logic and sound! This is performance tuning at its peak! Its absolutely incredible.

Online sharing, communication and collaboration in gaming is not a new thing for sure. While gamers hammer away on their CounterStrike, WarCraft or Whatever they play, they talk about stuff among themselves thru a headset and communicate anything from how to win the game to work and even relationships. This gaming platform has evolved from just a game to a social networking community and this is clearly very successful with the younger generation. In fact, Geek Squad in the US uses such gaming technology openly as a way to collaboration and communication among their staff.

We have alot to learn from these games, not just the technical aspect of it but also the social aspect. Would be interested to hear any interesting stories with relation to this.
