 Large enterprise vendors, pure-play start ups, or open-source? This was the question driving a lot of debate in Boston last week at the Enterprise 2.0 conference. With capable offerings from all three camps how should a company decide which path to take?
The answer isn't easy and in some cases the right choice might be a combination, or even all three. Enterprise Vendors go head-to-headDay one started off with a head-to-head between IBM (Lotus Connections) and Microsoft (SharePoint). Suzanne Minassian stepped up first to present a comprehensive and polished demo of Lotus Connections. She covered a lot of ground, ticking all of the right Enterprise 2.0 boxes showing people profiles, wiki integration, tagging, bookmarking, search and more, all within a seamless and clean user interface. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Lawrence Liu struggled to win over the crowd with his PowerPoint slides and clunky SharePoint examples. Comments, analysis and opinion flooded in. Susan Scrupski found Microsoft's demo "uninspiring" but felt that IBM "clearly 'got it" she also noted IBM had "a terrific UI, more 2.0 features than I could even keep up". An in depth analysis can be found at CIO.com where C.G. Lynch concludes that "SharePoint needs work with its social computing features" and conducts a follow-up interview with Rob Curry, Microsoft's director of SharePoint. David Hobbie has also reported on the session providing a detailed summary. |

 When Jive launched Clearspace 1.0 in February of 2007, it was a response to an overwhelming number of enterprise customers saying the same thing: "we're stuck between heavyweight collaboration apps (good for file-based workflows, but no one uses them to collaborate) and lightweight Web 2.0 apps like wikis (good for quick adoption, but incomplete, siloed and don't scale)". They said, "bring all of these formerly disparate technologies into one system, make it enterprise class, and make it so highly-intuitive that anyone could use it." Jive did that. And it was very successful.
So now, a little over a year later, and with hundreds of customers under thier belt, they are learning a lot. The result is Clearspace 2.0 Video demo, screenshots and more . . . |
