Tony, very interesting post indeed.
I am asking myself… What does it mean (practically) to be able to connect enterprise systems to web 2.0 (flavored) tools and services.
Technology wise, there is no problem to do that. In terms of the business model, things start to be more complicated here… i want to share with you my impressions from the marketplace as part of my job is to innovate new exiting services (specifically mobile 2.0 services)and to prototype them as well as demonstrate them to Telco services providers. Most of the business people i meet during demonstrations really get exited from the concepts and “coolness” of the applications, but when they go home they try to find concrete added values to their current portfolio and to see the “increase revenues” mark. In my view it is sometimes very hard to explain how collaboration or even integration to LOB’s systems can make a significant change in the way information workers do their jobs. I would really like to see some real business examples on how enterprises can benefit from this new culture.
