Collaborative Thinking: 2009: Planning Considerations For Enterprise 2.0 - 0 views

  • "SharePoint Next": Call, Raise Or Fold
  • Communities & Social Networks: Think "Adoption", Not "Deployment"
  • Social Platforms: Managing The Gap
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • "Enterprise RSS": It's A Middleware Decision
  • Social Analytics: Redefining Business Intelligence
  • Enterprise 2.0: Long-term Issues
  • Enterprise 2.0: Vendors To Watch (alpha order)
  • Jive: Perhaps the most successful "mini suite" in the market right now and a good option for organizations that don't want to commit to SharePoint and have reservations about IBM.
  • Telligent: Telligent could be the "Jive of 2009" given its latest release (which rounds out the features), its integration with SharePoint, and alignment with a Microsoft environment overall.
  • Enterprise 2.0: Open Source Efforts To Watch
  • Mindtouch: A vendor I hope more organizations consider - sound underling architecture that perhaps is over-branded as a wiki solution but is more of a mash-up server (kinda) based on a hypertext and service-oriented platform.

    Dec 24, 2008 -- "Rather than list off a "top ten" list of predictions for 2009, I thought I would briefly layout some topics and areas that business and IT decision-makers should pay attention to when formulating Enterprise 2.0 plans"

Look beyond SharePoint when considering collaboration :: SearchVoIP.com.au - 0 views

  • When it comes to departmental file sharing or collaborative workspaces, Microsoft's SharePoint has legions of fans in midsized companies. But for those not interested in paying for SharePoint (the basic version is free), or who find some features immature in the latest version, there are SharePoint alternatives.
  • The move to MOSS 2007 seems to be natural once users install Office 2007.
  • Midmarket companies accounted for 35% of the respondents, and among this group, half said price was not an inhibitor for MOSS deployments. Although nearly half -- 46% -- said the price was higher than they expected.

  • Microsoft estimates MOSS pricing at $US4,424 for a server license and $US94 per client access license (in the U.S.).
  • MOSS' capabilities range from basic collaboration to portal creation and business intelligence content management. Yet MOSS' breadth is both too much and not enough for some midmarket users.
  • While the portal capabilities in MOSS are mature, for example, some companies are holding off on what they perceive as less-developed features in the suite, such as social networking, enterprise search and Web content management capabilities. These companies are waiting until Microsoft releases the next version, Koplowitz said.
  • Another potential drawback is a dearth in skill sets, as well as a lack of SharePoint documentation coming from Microsoft
  • On the surface, SharePoint is easy to get off the ground, but he said he's finding that people quickly get in over their heads.
  • Although SharePoint appears to be on a lot of CIOs' agendas, midmarket businesses have plenty of other choices.
  • There's integration with enterprise content management systems.
  • There are also third-party add-ons
  • Open Text Corp., with its ECM suite, is another company that both competes and integrates with SharePoint.
  • Competing products and vendors in the Web 2.0 space include Jive Software's Clearspace business social community software, which has customers in the midsized market, and Atlassian Software Systems Pty Ltd. and Socialtext Inc. These started out as wikis but are broadening their community-based collaborative offerings.
