At this week’s VoiceCon conference I had the opportunity to moderate a panel discussion featuring Cisco VP & CTO of UC, Joe Burton, and IBM Lotus UC and Collaboration Services U.S. Leader Peter Fay on the role of Web 2.0 in an enterprise UC architecture.
Brendan Gahan over at GigaOm writes today about Facebook’s upcoming interface changes, suggesting that Facebook is launching an effort to subvert the growing popularity of Twitter by giving Facebook users more opportunity for real-time interaction.
Ingres and Alfresco have teamed to create an open-source alternative to Microsoft’s SharePoint platform for document collaboration and management. The Linux-based appliance joins Alfresco’s ECM with Ingres’ database services. Alfresco has long positioned itself as a lower-cost offering that also offers the extensibility of open-source.
A few weeks ago I discussed the concept of an Enterprise 2.0 “dashboard” that could combine feeds from a number of different services and integrate information into a common user view into their social networks. I mentioned Xobni as an effort to build such a dashboard by pulling external social network information into a user’s Microsoft Outlook in-box. Since then IBM Lotus demonstrated integration of LinkedIn into Notes 8.5, allowing Notes users to see LinkedIn information for their contacts.
Now there’s yet another startup to watch….
