Social Media - Transforming B2B Organizations: Contemporary Concerns StudyVishrut Shukla
The document is a project report submitted by Viveka Sra and Vishrut Shukla to Prof. Seema Gupta on social media and how it is transforming B2B organizations. It details an exploratory study conducted on how Cisco Systems and Oracle Corporation utilize various social media platforms both internally and externally. The report analyzes the different social channels used by each company, the type of content posted on each channel, and metrics on audience size. It aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the companies' social media strategies and provide best practice guidelines for other organizations.
This document summarizes the findings of a global study on organizations' usage of Web 2.0 technologies, the associated risks, and best practices. The study found that while most organizations have adopted Web 2.0 for business functions like marketing and IT, security is their primary concern. Half of organizations restrict employees' social media use and over $1 billion was lost to security incidents in the past year. Successful Web 2.0 usage requires analyzing risks, balancing opportunities with policies and technology, and tailoring defenses to individual circumstances.

With the increased usage of smartphones and tables in business, mobility has become an enterprise requirement. More and more business applications are now getting extended to smartphones and tablets for increasing the responsiveness and productivity of employees. ECM vendors have also realized the benefit of giving secure access of corporate content to knowledge workers right from their smartphones and tablets. This space is evolving as customers have started using mobile applications and many ECM vendors have already launched their native mobile ECM applications over iOS, Android, BlackBerry and other mobile operating systems.
This document discusses the shift from traditional "Enterprise 1.0" email and document-centric collaboration to newer "Enterprise 2.0" people-centric collaboration using social networking and real-time communication. Enterprise 2.0 aims to increase productivity by allowing seamless collaboration between employees, suppliers, customers and stakeholders. It emphasizes the user experience over rigid legacy tools. While technology plays a role, Enterprise 2.0 represents a philosophical shift focusing on extracting value from social interactions and user experiences within an organization. The challenges for organizations include embracing open information sharing over top-down control and accommodating newer technologies and work styles.
Web 2.0 tools have the potential to deliver competitive advantages for banks by making their websites and services more responsive, compelling and effective for customers, partners and employees. However, some banks may be hesitant to adopt Web 2.0 due to lack of experience and an unwillingness to change. While internal collaboration tools like wikis and blogs show promise, cultural resistance and concerns over intellectual property may hinder adoption of these tools. Security, privacy and legal issues with user-contributed data also need to be addressed for banks to successfully implement Web 2.0 strategies.

For SharePoint to continue growing, Microsoft must address these adoption barriers and improve the user experience across all devices and platforms.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the concept of "Web 2.0". It begins by distinguishing between ongoing developments in web technologies, newer applications and services, and how these services are adopted. It then examines key web 2.0 applications like blogs, wikis, tagging and multimedia sharing. The main part analyzes six "big ideas" underlying web 2.0, such as user-generated content, harnessing collective intelligence, and open architectures. It also discusses implications for education, including teaching, research, publishing and libraries/archiving. The report argues web 2.0 is more than just new technologies or services, but represents a shift towards more participatory and open web experiences.
- Large corporations are increasingly adopting Web 2.0 technologies like blogs, wikis, and online communities.
- A survey of over 400 senior executives found that 31% think Web 2.0 collaboration tools will impact all parts of their business. Nearly 60% plan to invite customers to contribute online content.
- Companies see Web 2.0 as a way to increase revenue through new customers and product innovations. They also expect it to reduce costs in areas like customer service and marketing.
The Web 2.0 phenomenon involves a lot of techniques and applicatronnag9bkla
The Web 2.0 phenomenon involves a lot of techniques and applications structure standards for customizing the Web. It is distinctive to exemplary Web advancements as it alludes to a class of Web-based applications that have been perceived to share certain structure designs. Today, the term includes Web-based applications like mashups, online journals, wikis, encourages, labeling frameworks, client made production frameworks, and informal communication applications actualized by a scope of techniques from programming dialects to calculations. The hidden driver of Web 2.0 is adaptability. The one characteristic innovations slapped with the Web 2.0 moniker share is that they are very (and maybe in some cases accidentally) moldable. The effective items don't break when a client endeavors to expand them past their unique plan; they curve to acknowledge new employments. Unavoidably, when individuals find a helpful apparatus outside the working environment, they need to utilize it at the workplace also. This happened years sooner when representatives started sneaking PCs into their workplaces to make it simpler to oversee spreadsheets and archives. All the more as of late, end clients have imported texting and boundless email administrations from outside sources. Endeavor 2.0 separates customary divisional hindrances and empowers building spans. The administrative structure does not change, however the capacity to imagine arrangements and access the technology to convey them is accessible to everybody.

Companies benefit from Web 2.0 investmentSustainly
The latest research from Deutsche Bank shows that 20% of US and European companies use social media channels for business purposes. But, these are only the most transparent companies. More DB research can be found at: www.dbresearch.com
Web 2.0 describes next-generation Internet technologies that make online applications behave more like desktop software through protocols that enable data sharing and user-generated content. These technologies shift computing power to the Internet, reducing desktop software costs. Key features include accessibility from any device, simple applications that solve specific problems, freely shared and user-edited data, and network effects that improve content. While these technologies foster collaboration, their flexible nature also means definitions and applications are sometimes unclear.
Web 2.0 is a new way of thinking about software that emphasizes user participation, openness, and network effects to create a more mature Internet. Companies can benefit from Web 2.0 by gaining measurable increases in innovation, knowledge, lower costs, and higher revenues by tightly integrating these technologies and linking customers and suppliers. Web 2.0 tools present many opportunities for companies if they know how to use the vast array of technologies, like social networking sites, to harness consumer engagement and creativity.

Web 2.0 for Schools/ Education InstitutionVenkatesh Iyer
The document discusses harnessing the power of Web 2.0 solutions in K-12 schools. It provides an overview of key Web 2.0 concepts and drivers of adoption. Web 2.0 enables learning and community building beyond regular school hours by allowing blogs, wikis, and other collaborative tools. The document outlines sample Web 2.0 school communities and a conceptual architecture for a secured online school community platform. It also describes roles and responsibilities for administrators in launching and managing such a solution.
Enterprise 2.0 refers to the use of social software tools like wikis, blogs, tags, and social networking within a business. It draws from lessons of Web 2.0 by making software more open, connected, and user-driven. Enterprise 2.0 can help businesses through more efficient collaboration, knowledge sharing, product feedback, and marketing. It offers advantages like being lightweight, easy to use, quick to adopt, and lower costs than traditional enterprise software. While it requires new technology, Enterprise 2.0 flattens organizations, highlights good ideas, increases agility, and speeds innovation to better engage customers.
Web 2.0 uses new technologies like AJAX, RSS, and mashups to enable greater collaboration, sharing, and user engagement on the web compared to earlier versions. It emphasizes open standards, user-generated content, and leveraging the "wisdom of crowds." While offering opportunities, Web 2.0 also raises privacy and security issues regarding personal data that must be addressed.
This document discusses application assembly using web services. It proposes that web services allow non-technical people to construct complex business software by assembling reusable software components/services. However, there are still challenges to address like how to take abstract concepts into software and ensure quality attributes like performance and security. The document presents a "separation continuum" model to understand the different elements that make up business systems from abstract requirements to software implementation. It argues that application assembly using independently developed web services is feasible if standards are followed and the right assembly tools are available.
1) A McKinsey survey found that companies using web technologies intensively gain greater market share and higher margins compared to companies with more limited usage.
2) These "networked enterprises" use collaborative web 2.0 technologies to connect employees and extend their reach to customers, partners, and suppliers.
3) The survey data showed that fully networked enterprises were more likely to be market leaders, gain market share, and have higher margins than peers using web technologies in more limited ways.
This document provides an overview of Web 2.0 and proposes an approach for senior IT management to assess adopting Web 2.0 solutions. It discusses drivers like shifts in demographics, the rise of mobile devices, and growth in emerging markets. It also covers opportunities like improved innovation and engagement, as well as risks around information security, systems vulnerabilities, and legal compliance. The author recommends a comprehensive approach including analyzing the firm's landscape, defining a target state, developing a roadmap, and establishing governance to successfully implement relevant Web 2.0 solutions.
The document discusses whether a company is ready for Web 2.0 and provides guidance. It defines Web 2.0 as both a technology infrastructure and communication process. Key questions are presented to help companies identify how Web 2.0 applications could reduce costs, improve processes, and enable new initiatives. The role of IT is also discussed, as well as developing a Web 2.0 action plan.
The document discusses the evolution of the World Wide Web and the concept of "Web 2.0". Web 1.0 focused on commerce while Web 2.0 emphasizes user participation through tools that allow tagging, blogging, commenting and modifying content. The term "Web 2.0" was coined in 2004 to describe an improved form of the web that leverages these participatory elements.

Best Practices for Securing Web 2.0
Sponsored by: Websense
Brian E. Burke
June 2009
IDC OPINION
Like it or not, Web 2.0 is quickly becoming "enterprise 2.0" as a growing number of
www.idc.com
Web applications make their way into the corporate environment, bringing with them
even more security concerns and attack vectors. It is IDC's opinion that organizations
should embrace the value of Web 2.0 tools as a way to help lower costs and increase
collaboration with little to no administrative burden on IT staff. Failed attempts to ban
F.508.935.4015
or discourage use of consumer instant messaging networks in the past taught
organizations that it is not good for business (e.g., employee productivity and morale)
to say no to workers who wish to use tools such as Twitter or Facebook to collaborate
and stay connected with clients, prospects, and partners. Furthermore, to ignore the
pervasive use of Web 2.0 technologies belies the reality of most business
P.508.872.8200
environments today, where everything from SaaS applications and Webmail to
desktop replacement technologies plays a crucial role in day-to-day operations while
presenting many unaddressed risks.
The challenge for organizations is that many Web 2.0 applications were designed for
Global Headquarters: 5 Speen Street Framingham, MA 01701 USA
consumers, not for business users whose online activities can have dire
consequences for their organizations if the tools are used irresponsibly. This
challenge is compounded by the fact that the Web 2.0 applications that were
designed for business use were not designed for existing security frameworks,
architectures, and deployments. Moreover, virtually all of the top 100 Web sites, from
Google and Yahoo! to Wikipedia and MSNBC, rely on or host some type of user-
generated content, and the risk profile and challenge for organizations only increase.
Fortunately, a growing amount of help is available for organizations looking to allow
their workers to use Web 2.0 tools responsibly without sacrificing security and
regulatory compliance requirements. In this tough economic climate, increasing
collaboration and reducing costs are more important than ever. Web 2.0 technologies,
if used securely, can help organizations increase collaboration and productivity and
drive revenue. In response to these challenges, IDC has partnered with Websense to
further understand the current pain points organizations face in dealing with the
adoption of Web 2.0 technologies. Our research found that:
95% of organizations allow access to Web 2.0 sites, and 62% of IT managers
think Web 2.0 is necessary to their business (source: Websense's 2009
Web2.0@Work survey).
64% of IT managers permit access to social network sites primarily used for
business, but a significant 1 in 2 organizations (49%) allow access to social
network sites primarily used for personal use (source: Websense's 2009
Web2.0@Work survey).
