The document discusses how collaboration networks will be as important for enterprises as social networks are for consumers. It argues that collaboration will redefine innovation, productivity, and the future of work through boundaryless organizations and information fabrics. New experiences will be enabled through technology adoption of applications, devices, and network services that provide context about users. The network will be a platform integrating these tools to allow rich collaboration within and between organizations.
