My fellow blogger Karim got inspired by the slideshare about Enterprise 2.0 I posted and made a nice post about it: Welcome to Enterprise 2.0, embrace it!. He provided a nice overview of what enterprise 2.0 entails:
| Enterprise 1.0 | Enterprise 2.O |
| Hierarchy Friction Bureaucracy Inflexibility IT-driven technology / Lack of user control Top down Centralized Teams are in one building / one time zone Silos and boundaries Need to know Information systems are structured and dictated Taxonomies Overly complex Closed/ proprietary standards Scheduled Long time-to-market cycles | Flat Organization Ease of Organization Flow Agility Flexibility User-driven technology Bottom up Distributed Teams are global Fuzzy boundaries, open borders Transparency Information systems are emergent Folksonomies Simple Open On Demand Short time-to-market cycles |
I just happened to stumble upon another blog: "cazh1: on Business, Information, and Technology". He has some experience with enterprise 2.0 and if you are interested in the concept, check these posts out:

I'm a big believer of the 2.0 concept, but (as this is a security related blog) be aware that it also implies certain security issues:
- SaaS : Your data is not under your own management, so be sure your vendor provides as much care to security as you would... (or maybe even more?!?) ;-)
- Social/Open/etc : Information about your company will be present in public, whether you like it or not. Just think about LinkedIn; it is easy to scan a company for certain competences.
- ... (now it's your job to think about it) ... ;-)
Bottomline:
Enterprise 2.0 is the way to go, understand the pro & cons. The cons can include some security issues, so tackle them where needed. Be pragmatic in your approach... (think impact analysis?)
I first wanted to explore the topic before diving into security details. It's the next part. Patience my friend. ;-)
