11:15 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Room 309
As enterprise social collaboration efforts mature, enterprises increasingly seek to put these new capabilities "in the flow" of colleagues' daily work. Yet, most tools assume that social networking and collaboration will reside in a separate "place," often a siloed application that notifies you of new activity via yet another set of e-mail alerts.
A growing number of vendors are seeking to address a new architecture that posits social and collaboration services as a "layer" that can be applied to diverse workstreams within the enterprise. Of course, social-as-a-service is much easier said than done. This session, led by a noted industry analyst, will offer a practical review of vision versus reality in this important area.
The session will cover
• Overview of the different approaches to social-enable existing enterprise systems & emerging social layer standards.
• Role of social layers going forward as enterprise systems themselves become natively social.
• Report card for the overall social layers marketplace; highlighting the bright sparks and trouble spots among leading vendors

Location: Room 309
SharePoint is used as an enterprise collaboration platform in many organizations, yet many organizations are still in the process of deciding when and how they should implement some of SharePoint 2010 social capabilities. While many organizations understand the benefits social technology can provide it’s not clear how SharePoint measures up against other social technologies, and perhaps more importantly what the true benefits social capabilities in SharePoint provide to real business scenarios.
Join Richard Harbridge as he provides an objective overview of what works well, and what works poorly in SharePoint 2010 and how it can help your Enterprise 2.0 technology strategy be more successful.
