Enterprise Web 2.0

It is a micro-publication about the management, leadership and people issues raised by the next-generation of web technologies. It is aimed more at technology-savvy business managers than professional technologists, although geeks are more than welcome.

In simple words, Enterprise 2.0 has a simple definition. It is defined as the application of Web 2.0 technologies to the enterprise. However, there are almost as many different meanings for "Web 2.0" as there are mashups, making "Enterprise 2.0" an equally nebulous concept. One latest and most talked about area in Web 2.0 is RIAs (Rich Internet Applications). RIAs and other new Web 2.0 communications technologies are hot, but applying them to the enterprise can be tricky. Six most active areas in RIAs - RSS Enablement, online office suites, mashup appliances, social bookmarking, WIKI’s and all-in-one Web 2.0 appliances.
