Keynote - Enterprise 2.0 - Are CIOs Ready to Bite? #e2conf (Location: Grand Ballroom B - General Session)Enterprise 2.0 projects to date are largely departmental initiatives led by business leaders and technology strategists who voice frustration over legacy applications and IT’s slow response to initiate sweeping improvements. But many CIOs continue to cite concerns around security, privacy and a lack of enterprise-grade, interoperable solutions. While the stalemate continues, businesses are reaching a crisis point in information management and need workable solutions to keep pace with tools found in the fast-paced consumer web. Have we reached an impasse in business-wide adoption or are CIOs beginning to show signs of Enterprise 2.0 acceptance? Add to calendar - Add to Google Calendar

Standalone collaboration environments and social networks have been the focal point in the market to date, but what is possible when you marry traditional enterprise software with newer enterprise 2.0 thinking? To start, you free people from the struggle to use enterprise systems and you help them find the right information for daily work. You put into their hands powerful, business-relevant content-including business processes, data, events and analytics -that combines structured data and unstructured data from social and online networks to bring together people, information and business methods in a cohesive online working environment. Marge Breya will discuss this “collaboration within business context” and demonstrate how it can move business forward. Add to calendar - Add to Google Calendar

Keynote Speaker - Andrew McAfee, Principal Research Scientist, Center for Digital Business, MIT Sloan School of Management Andrew McAfee studies the ways that information technology (IT) affects businesses and business as a whole. His research investigates how IT changes the way companies perform, organize themselves, and compete. At a higher level, his work also investigates how computerization affects competition itself – the struggle among rivals for dominance and survival within an industry. He coined the phrase “Enterprise 2.0” in a spring 2006 Sloan Management Review article to describe the use of Web 2.0 tools and approaches by businesses. He also began blogging at that time, both about Enterprise 2.0 and about his other research. McAfee’s blog is widely read, becoming at times one of the 10,000 most popular in the world (according to Technorati). He also maintains a Facebook profile and Twitter account. McAfee’s book on Enterprise 2.0 was published in 2009 by Harvard Business School Press. In the July / August issue of Harvard Business Review McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson published “Investing in the IT that Makes a Competitive Difference,” a summary of their research investigating IT’s links to changes in competition. This work was the first to reveal that competition began to heat up in the US in the mid 1990s – to become faster paced, more turbulent, and more winner-take-all – and that this acceleration was greater in industries that spent more on IT. This research continues, and continues to highlight that technology appears to be significantly reshaping the landscape of competition. McAfee is the author or co-author of more than fifteen scholarly articles and ninety case studies and other materials for students and teachers of technology. This work has convinced him that modern information technology is the most powerful tool available to business leaders, yet also the most misunderstood and under-appreciated resource at their disposal. In 2008 McAfee was named by the editors of the technical publishing house Ziff-Davis number 38 in their list of the “100 Most Influential People in IT.” He was also named by Baseline magazine to a separate, unranked list of the 50 most influential people in business IT that year. He was invited by Prof. Gary Hamel to join a ‘renegade brigade’ of thinkers in the task of assembling a set of Moon Shots for Management, which was published in the January 2009 Harvard Business Review. He speaks frequently to both academic and industry audiences, and has taught in executive education programs around the world. McAfee is currently a principal research scientist at the Center for Digital Business in the MIT Sloan School of Management, and a fellow at the Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society. He received his Doctorate from Harvard Business School, and completed two Master of Science and two Bachelor of Science degrees at MIT. | |

The world has changed. Technology development has accelerated, society and economic environments are disrupted. Our business environment has been, to put it lightly - more than challenging.

Join Kevin Cavanaugh, Vice President of Messaging and Collaboration, as he describes this new social transformation of collaboration, including the pervasion of mobile devices, the Cloud phenomenon, and social media and the impact of the emigration of 'digital natives' into the enterprise space.

Keynote - The Biggest "From > To" in Business in a Generation #e2conf (Location: Grand Ballroom B - General Session)Most of the business applications we experience at work are architected around a model that prized transaction efficiency. Think of it as an offshoot of the assembly line from a different era. The new model is social, with an incredible focus on the user experience to create a work environment that’s reflective of how we interact with each other. It’s also a model that shifts from a focus on transactions to one on conversations. In doing so, an organization can cut through the chatter to what really matters in business: decision making and action taking. The new, social-business-powered enterprise platform supports open models that make operations frictionless. It enables companies to unlock the business value in both their existing enterprise systems, and most importantly, their people. It’s the biggest change to how work gets done, and it’s happening right now. In this session the following will be covered: * How companies have embraced social business software to drive outcomes in revenues, earnings and customer engagement * How social business software helps companies break free of enterprise technology silos * Why traditional business applications, including email, CRM and ERP, will ultimately be retired * Real-life examples of social business software driving breakthrough changes in the enterprise Add to calendar - Add to Google Calendar

The fact that so much of the Enterprise 2.0 industry still focuses on issues of adoption is disheartening. It indicates that many E20 implementations lack a business focus and an overall understanding of where specific pain points inside an organization actually exist. Enterprise 2.0 is dead in the water if it doesn't help a customer book a deal, accelerate a project, or collaborate more freely in real-time. Socialtext CEO Eugene Lee will discuss what areas both practitioners and vendors should focus on to achieve business value from Enterprise 2.0, moving both companies, and the industry that serves them, forward.

Engaging with Customers Through the Cloud: Introducing Microsoft TownHall for Enterprise - Sponsored by Microsoft #e2conf-27 (Location: Commonwealth A)The growing usage of social networks and the emergence of the real-time web are changing the way customers expect to interact with brands. Customers are looking for experiences that are online, social, available to them 24x7x365 and accessible online via their PC, phone, tablet, television, dvr, or other internet connected devices. Brands want to answer that call and create experiences for customers that create deeper brand affinity and drive additional revenue. They want to do this in ways that are measurable and collect data that also drive deeper customer insight. Ideally, this would happen in a way that allowed an organization to gain insights on consumer activity across their brands. This session explores ways that the cloud, social, mobile, data, and BI can converge in a way that helps organizations and digital agencies engage consumers at scale, gain insight, and do it at a reasonable cost. The session will also include discussions of real world customer implementations and readily accessible customer solutions like Microsoft TownHall. Add to calendar - Add to Google Calendar
