Enterprise 2.0 and Offshoring
As technologist working with a large offshore services company, I get to consult with some of the most dynamic organizations, and ideate with some very smart folks. In the section on External Landscape and Offshoring Management of my book I had talked about the need to constantly scan the technology landscape. And the buzz right now is on "Enterprise 2.0" [a.k.a Web 2.0 ?].
I have blogged my Eclectic thoughts on the Enterprise 2.0 debate. Though the book was published about six months ago, before the buzz on moniker Enterprise 2.0 took hold, I elaborated on technologies including wikis, Knoweledge Management tools, blogs and how they facilitate collaboration between global teams.
If one were to study the definition of Enterprise 2.0 -- relying on outsourced or offshore resources and leveraging tools and technologies to bring Order from Chaos -- my colleagues at Infosys already live and practice Enterprise 2.0. And it is not just us; extending the argument, colleagues at many “tier 1” software services companies and offshoring vendors [IBM, Accenture, TCS, Wipro et al] extensively use many of the technologies behind E 2.0. Eat one’s cooking as the expression goes.
So, what’s new?!
