"Analysts speaking at Enterprise 2.0 say Microsoft's collaboration platform is more than a portal, but less than a social network."

  • When Wylie asked Koplowitz whether SharePoint was "just a portal," his answer was an emphatic "no" because, although SharePoint includes a portal, it provides many other capabilities. Yet when asked if SharePoint was a social network, Koplowitz shook his head and said, "it's a lot better portal than it is a social platform."
  • SharePoint 2010 provides basic building blocks, including user profiles and activity stream updates, but transforming it into a satisfying corporate social network requires either a healthy dose of configuration and customization, or the addition of third-party software such as NewsGator Social Sites.

Les membres du Parlement européen veulent savoir quelle attitude les législateurs comptent adopter dans le conflit qui oppose la directive européenne sur la protection des données (Directive 95/46/EC) au Patriot Act américain."

"I was lucky enough to be invited with one of my clients to Paris MS Campus to have a conversation about Microsoft social platform (Infopedia, AcademyMobile, Mingle, ...). It was the second time I had the opportunity to see a social platform. The first time was when I visited Dassault Systèmes. And when I think about the two approaches, I think we are in front of two major trends. The third one, obviously, is Google's."

  • . As someone at MS told me, the really useful knowledge, more often than not, is in your legacy systems. So MS will manage to have those legacy systems talk with the social platform, and it will actually try to feed some social data and content into those systems.

"At Lotusphere this year, the contrast between IBM and Microsoft could not be more distinct.

IBM is making it clear it is banking on a strategy that embraces a loosely coupled framework - a foundation based upon principles that are often discussed in the context of the open Web. For instance, as we mentioned yesterday, xPages, HTML5 and RESTful Web services will all be tools that push forward efforts such as Project Vulcan, the next generation of Lotus Notes unveiled here at Lotusphere this week."

  • BM's Web-based approach is distinctly different than the document-centric world of Sharepoint. It's this Web-oriented, open approach that may prove to be the difference for IBM. We'll have to see. Microsoft remains the major power in the enterprise. Its future is in proprietary systems. But who knows. As the cloud becomes more a part of doing business, Microsoft may continue to have the upper hand, especially if it can execute on its partnerships with third-party application providers.

"Redmond has launched a pilot program called TechSupport Marketplace on its Microsoft Answers forum. Independent experts will bid for a chance to help users fix their tech support problems, kind of like an eBay for tech support."

  • Microsoft has launched a new limited pilot program on its Microsoft Answers forum that will eventually see independent experts bidding on tech support that users post. These experts "have the skills and ability to troubleshoot and help resolve customer technology problems when the customer needs cannot be met through existing self-help channels,"
  • The idea is simple. Users will post questions on the new website and a select group of technical experts will bid to provide support to the user

It is much easier to use product managers to create a repeatable process. After all, there is much less passion involved. For many markets, it may not be worth Apple-style design. People often wonder for Enteprise software whether it matters, for example. But I don’t buy my PM friend’s argument. Talent of all kinds is always scarce. A decision to eschew finding talent for a repeatable process creates mediocrity.

Undoubtedly Microsoft is pioneering the R&D 2.0 model that I discussed in my last post — an organizational model that relies on anthropologists and development economists to first decipher the socio-cultural needs of users in emerging markets like India and then use these deep insights to develop appropriate technology solutions. And it's telling that Microsoft picked India as the epicentre of its global R&D transformation.

Chez Kimind nous avons accompagné pendant un an un grand compte français dans le choix et l’adoption de Google Apps pour l’ensemble de l’entreprise, soit à peu près 30.000 postes de travail. C’est une première mondiale, car ce grand-compte a choisi l’ensemble de l’offre Google Apps, aussi bien la dimension messagerie (gmail, calendar, gtalk) que la dimension collaborative (docs + sites) pour remplacer à terme Microsoft Office et Lotus Notes dans 90% de leurs usages quotidiens. Jusqu’à présent les grands-comptes qui avaient adopté Google Apps à cette échelle l’avaient fait pour l’une des deux dimensions, pas les deux ensemble.

    • les utilisateurs réclament la simplicité et la facilité dans la production et l’échange des informations avec leurs collaborateurs. Dès qu’ils ont compris que Google Docs par exemple leur offre ces deux dimensions instantanément, ils sont prêts à sacrifier quelques usages avancés des produits existants pour obtenir les bénéfices de la solution Google.
  • Au moins 90% des usages normaux quotidiens d’un employé sont couverts par les outils Google. Nous pouvons même dire que 100% des usages d’une très grande majorité d’utilisateurs sont couverts par la solution Google. Seuls ce que l’on peut appeler des “power users” auront besoin dans certains cas des fonctions avancées d’Excel ou de PowerPoint (nous mettons Word dans une autre catégorie, car il est à 99% très rapidement remplacé par la production en ligne directe en mode wiki ou doc partagé). Dans ce cas on conservera des version de MS Office pour ces gens-là et ces usages-là, ce qui réduit drastiquement les besoin de licences (une licence Google Apps coûte 10 fois moins)
