What is Enterprise 2.0?
Enterprise 2.0 refers to the concept of incorporating Web 2.0 tools and technologies into the work process of an enterprise. It helps the employees, partners, suppliers and customers of an organization to work together and build networks.
Why is it important for you?
Unlike the concept of one-way conversation, where a company communicates with the site visitors individually, Enterprise 2.0 allows you to implement a multi-party conversation to share information. It also allows you to manage knowledge inside and outside of the organization using blogs and wikis, social networking and tagging, rating systems and other such utilities. The links provided in these tools facilitate the individuals involved to participate and control the process while working together, sharing information and creating networks with people sharing similar interests.
How can Enterprise 2.0 help me with my marketing and business goals?
Enterprise 2.0 offers an array of benefits for Software and Technology companies. Enterprise 2.0 tools are capable of connecting different groups in an organization and ecosystem partners by creating infinite links among your channel partners, distributors and associated groups. These links surpass the benefits and features of other powerful links already existing between these entities. These links with enhanced features cultivate a breed of innovation, creativity, and cross pollination among different entity groups. Simple productivity gains are just one aspect of Enterprise 2.0 and it is much more capable of gaining additional returns over and above its simple productivity gains.
Below is the list of some rewarding benefits of Enterprise 2.0 for your organization
- Cultivates Long-Term Relations Between Customers and Partners
