Charlie goes mobile (with Enterprise 2.0)

Like many of us, Charlie’s job involves being on the road

visiting clients and managing engagements 09:00 Technosis Inc 11:30 Silicon Ventures 16:00 Airport - Boston

Charlie needs access to relevant data… … filtered based on his schedule

So he uses a web based Mash-up ...

… built in house using open source tools & API’s

… with RSS feeds , BaseCamp milestones & tags combining calendar appointments… + + + eOn , Wal Mart , Federis , Yahoo

… an RSS feed from the client administrator’s blog (they always have the best info!)

… upcoming client milestones from Charlie’s BaseCamp projects

… recent bookmarks & blogs tagged with the clients name…

… combined intelligence on client engagements together they provide…

The best thing about this Mash-up?

It’s available on Charlie’s phone… and laptop…

Providing up to the minute client data on the road…

… insuring seamless access to the right data…

… at the right time .

Charlie also uses a status feature… … just like Facebook or Twitter …

For posting mini updates from his phone or laptop

to be seen by anyone back at the office… 10:31: ..arrived in Boston, a little late 10:46: ..client late too 11:15: ..starting presentation, full board attendance! 12:54: ..went really well, they want full demo’s 13:43: ..send me APC files when you get the chance

… so his colleagues and boss have an idea of his whereabouts, status or progress without the need to email or call

… some may call this micro blogging or presence detection

… Charlie just thinks it’s useful !
