Web 2.0 Collaboration

 

Vanessa Sulikowski - Cisco

 

Abstract

With the advent of Web 2.0 user-centric collaboration the way we communicate is changing. We are seeing a merge of consumer world collaboration and organisational communications and an increasing shift from thick-clients to thin WebTops. There has also been a dramatic increase in hosted SaaS (Software as a Service) application delivery.

This is creating a need for ubquitous access to collaborative workspaces everywhere, everytime just like is possible from applications like Facebook anywhere you can connect to the web. These collaborative workspaces need to be open, on-demand, everywhere, everytime and inclusive. This session will explore the collaborative changes occuring, the implications and solutions to bring together internal communications networks and the public domain environment to achieve Web 2.0 collaboration everywhere and everytime.
