Enterprise 2.0 What Else Is It
Enterprise 2.0 refers to the use of social software and collaborative technologies within companies. It leverages tools like blogs, wikis, and social networking to enable collaboration and knowledge sharing. Enterprise 2.0 is driven by employees and helps businesses adapt quickly to changes. While some see it as just a technology, others view it as a cultural shift that is inevitable as workplaces increasingly rely on social interactions and digital platforms.
6 benefits of implementing Enterprise 2.0 collaboration software for businesses
Enterprise 2.0 refers to the use of social software platforms within companies to interconnect teams and their collective knowledge. It aims to harness the advantages of Web 2.0 technologies like social media behind company firewalls. Some key benefits include overcoming geographic and cultural barriers between diverse teams, fostering innovation by enabling free flow of ideas, creating a central knowledge base from communication, capturing tacit knowledge, and identifying experts within the organization.
The Benefits of Social Collaboration in the Enterprise
According to Forrester, growth in software investment is shifting to people centric and collaborative software with 37% of IT decision-makers planning to implement or expand the use of collaboration tools, compared with 25% or less who are planning investments in traditional software such as enterprise resource planning, human capital management or product life-cycle management.

Brazil's Role in Emerging Global Open Source Initiatives
Brazil has emerged as a leader in global open source initiatives. The Brazilian government was an early adopter of open source software in order to reduce licensing fees paid to foreign companies. This helped expand access to education and reinforced creative culture in Brazil. Notable government implementations include use of Linux and open source solutions in federal agencies, saving over $196 million annually. The Ministry of Culture also launched programs to develop digital culture through open source frameworks and public participation in drafting laws. However, opposition from entrenched industry interests has also challenged Brazil's open source movement at times.

The Arab Education-Quake
The status of education in the Arab world is currently echoing an alarming siren. Though there have been several notable achievements and many reforms in public policy, they mainly fall under the “engineering” of education and fail to develop the educational tool for freedom and development. For the Arab world to be able to catch up with the knowledge revolution and succeed in creating a strong knowledge society, it needs to develop a holistic creative multi-player solution to transcend the eminent gaps and take quantum development leaps.
In this paper I will depict the educational scene in the Arab world, highlighting the most dangerous current challenges, spot the light on the achievements that have taken place so far, and accordingly propose an effective solution that integrates all related pillars and the missing links considering the successful model of the European Union’s Creativity and Innovation strategy.
