• Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration

  • by Andrew P. McAfee, Sloan Management Review, Spring 2006, Vol. 47, No. 3, pp. 21-28
  • There is a new wave of business communication tools including blogs, wikis and group messaging software — which the author has dubbed, collectively, Enterprise 2.0 — that allow for more spontaneous, knowledge-based collaboration.

• Vendors: Prepare For Falling Prices For Enterprise Web 2.0 Collaboration And Productivity Apps

  • by G. Oliver Young, Forrester Research, October 9, 2008
  • The enterprise Web 2.0 market is experiencing an explosion of activity among enterprises seeking collaboration and productivity improvements. While that explosion is placing Web 2.0 technology in the hands of millions of knowledge workers, cutthroat competition, commoditization, bundling, and subsumption are all offsetting the associated license revenue growth. How bad will it get? Forrester expects that most Web 2.0 tools will experience falling average deal sizes over the next five years, with some deal sizes dropping by more than half.
