Web 2.0 in the Enterprise
By Cisco Systems
When it comes to communications and collaboration, the IT industry, in large part, is taking its cue from consumers. Consumers who have been using Web 2.0 tools such as instant messaging and discussion forums in the home for years are now the employees exerting significant influence on what collaboration technologies should be adopted in the workplace. For more than a year, Cisco IT and Corporate Communications have been helping to bring Web 2.0 tools into the enterprise and integrating them with video, Telepresence, and other unified communications technologies on the network. How important is this mission to the business? Very important. One of IT’s strategic imperatives is to create a communications and collaboration platform that will both drive the future of collaboration within Cisco and enable the company to accelerate productivity, growth, and innovation.
