The buzz around Enterprise 2.0 / Office 2.0 is palpable, one conference after the other with $ 50 k stands offering yet-another-wiki-version trying to snag the enterprise CTO/CIO.
No wonder that start-up spends the 50k: Web 2.0 and social media relies on advertising for income, something that sounds enticing enough. But world-wide internet advertising (beside Google's 70%) is a mere 6-9 Bn $ annual market while the enterprise IT market is many, many times bigger. Banks alone will spend 390 Bn $ on IT this year. Temptation to redefine your target market is high and re-branding with a few added features ensues.
But the enterprise buyer is sceptical. And calls for "culture changes", or the more pragmatic "change management" does not make pigs fly.
