Connecting the Dots Between the Cloud and Enterprise 2.0

By Dion Hinchcliffe on July 21, 2010

Yesterday in Portland at OSCON’s Cloud Summit I spoke about major emerging trends in business, IT, and the Web. Specifically, I explored how Enterprise 2.0, Cloud Computing, and something known as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) have converged on top of the same “problem space” to become the essential fabric for how we solve the business problems […]

Ten emerging Enterprise 2.0 technologies to watch

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 22, 2010

Two significant and closely related trends in enterprise computing this year are the growth of Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and social computing. By most accounts, both are gaining ground fairly rapidly while still not being used for core business functions or mission critical applications in most large firms, at least not yet.

Here’s a breakdown of what Enterprise 2.0 technologies and products to watch this year.

The social Web in 2010: The emerging standards and technologies to watch

The social Web in 2010: The emerging standards and technologies to watch

By Dion Hinchcliffe on January 20, 2010

The emergence of Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the social Web as a global force in the last several years has done a great deal to highlight their potential to fundamentally alter the way we communicate and collaborate both at home and in business. However, despite the movement of social computing into our daily lives we’re all clearly on a long journey together as the technologies themselves emerge from infancy.

The state-of-the-art today when it comes to the social computing environments that surround us now — in our browsers, mobile devices, and elsewhere — underscore how much more we have left to do to make these new modes of digital conversation and discourse become mature, efficient, safe, and truly useful.
